Zerox  +  698436 Fri, 17 Apr 09 10:05 AM Is there any hard-and-fast rules how italics should be used, especially with foreign words; or is it just a matter of taste? For example, in an academic literary essay, if I desire to use not so common a phrase such as 'faux pas' or something in the similar vein, should it be in italics?
