I can see a case made for bold emphasis on a world that would be italicized in a sentence that's completely italized because it's thought or other.
I can as well. I can see a case made for all these things. But personally, I prefer the emphasized word in an already italicized phrase to be plain text, unitalicized. Bold draws my eyes too much. Just now my eyes were drawn to Kiera Knightly and James Marsters because you bolded them. Did I want to be thinking about them while replying to this portion of your comment? Okay, possibly, because I myself am getting bored with this portion of the comment, but really, it's the principal of the...Kiera and James what???????
I tend to overuse dashes in both my dialogue and my narrative speech.
James Marsters is way too freakin' old to play Romeo; I'm with a2zmom. But Kiera Knightley, actually, is only like 20 or so, and might could fly.
