I like the rationale for not using italics. It makes sense, in that for the writer, Spanish is not a foreign language, any more than English is. That said, I like the idea of a cheat sheet, to help those who don't know Spanish to appreciate the writing. Great idea!
Thank you, Ines. It’ll be interesting to see how universal issue becomes with use of other non-English languages…. I know I’ll be looking very carefully.
not quite sure, but tomorrow I have to tackle an interview with an Italian immigrant who also lived in Caracas as a boy and speaks English, Italian, and Spanish. I am looking forward to the challenge and the idea of writing all of them in roman type.

I love the non-italics rule. So updated with our current times. Go for it!

great to know. Thank you!
How will the use of italics evolve in the 2030s?

Wonderful as always!
