9Most people have no idea that italic and "slanted" are different things.– tchrist ♦Commented Jul 18, 2018 at 22:15

I'm not sure "average" is the best term– Azor Ahai -him-Commented Jul 19, 2018 at 4:57

@tchrist Italic and slanted aren't different things in nonjargon. If they're being treated differently, some examples very much should be added to the answer for clarity.– llyCommented Jul 19, 2018 at 13:59

2@lly since markdown doesn't allow one to specify oblique text, that needs a picture, and since ngofo doesn't have sufficient permissions yet to add a picture, I have edited to do so.– Jon HannaCommented Jul 19, 2018 at 14:16

Markdown does allow italics and very few people would actually take the slanted as anything except a stylized form. That said, thank you very much for your effort in illustrating the differences.– llyCommented Jul 19, 2018 at 14:53

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
