    So that’s how the Sphinx lost its nose! It bumped into a non-italic ankh.

    Italics is like talking during a wind storm.

    The pharaoh seems not to be taking a lively interest with the innovation. Nor does he seem overly ankh-cious about it. Perhaps the scribe is too glyph, too Ra-Ra.

    Italians write in italics; residents of Paris, Brussels and London write in capitals; people in Boulder, Colorado…well, you get the idea.

    Actually, sort of makes sense. “Italic” comes from “Italian,” and those pesky Romans did take over from that Cleo babe, so …

    Of course, “Italic” came from the renaissance, so there’s the time warp factor. But now that time travelers are regularly telling us our future, what the hey? Anything Goes. (Which is from the 1930s, I believe.)
