Re: Rosennean ideas and better modelling...

Dear Judith,


  There -are- other usable asci symbols to 'make a point', or,
to change the phrasings    and emphasis    of ideas one wants
to get across while writing.  If there is _anything_ you can
meme in rich text  (abeit it -is- "rich" in OBVIOUS ways) but
that doesn't mean that with a --little ingenuity-- a person
can convey nuances of expression in "plain" text  -  just  -
as - well. (!)     ;-)

eg:  There -are- other usable ...

vs   There are -other- usable ...

vs   There are other -usable- ...

with just a bit of extra characters usage, the writer can
take and mold the conveyance -more accurately- to their
meanings and purposes.   HTML is a (ahem) .. "model" ..
a language of visual utility. Text conventions of italics and
underscores are only 'model parts' also, and we are not committed
to -those- and _only those_ "emphatics!"

Have F-U-N with the visual-verbal world at hand.  I bet
your father- would have been -enchanted- with the notion
of writing ~ using these alternative symbols to hone in on
and focus readers to his thoughts more exactly.
