Italics are a kind of printed letters that lean to the right. We almost always say the word with an -s, and we say a word is “in italics.” People use italics to give a word extra weight, to mark a title, to show a thought in a story, or to show that a word is not English. Teachers also say “ type.” Though actually, if a whole paragraph is in italics, readers often stop noticing — the lean only helps when most of the page is still straight up. Handwriting can slant too, but italics in this sense is a print style, not just “writing that leans.”

- [T]hey [the Catholics and Puritans] encumbered their verſion [of the Bible] with a load of uſeleſs Italics; often without the leaſt neceſſity, and almoſt always to the detriment of the text. In fact, either the words in Italics are virtually implied in the Hebrew, or they are not. In the former caſe they are a real part of the text, and ſhould be printed in the ſame character: in the latter, they are generally ill aſſorted and clumſy ekes, that may well be ſpared; and which often disfigure the narration under pretence of connecting it.
