| Nov 19, 2024 at 7:36 | comment | added | InSync | @MisterMiyagi If something looks different from the rest, it is intuitively understood as having received extra attention and would thus less likely to be an error. This might work for one person but not another; if you don't feel that way, fair enough. | |
| Nov 19, 2024 at 7:28 | comment | added | Piro | Maybe it depends on IDE, or keyboard but then wouldn't it be easier to just type "if and only if"? | |
| Nov 19, 2024 at 7:14 | comment | added | MisterMiyagi | Well then how does that make it so that it does not look like a typo? | |
| Nov 19, 2024 at 6:57 | comment | added | InSync | @MisterMiyagi Two things: First, <i> does not mean emphasis; second, I never said italicizing make it clear that "iff" is not a typo (only less so). I also noted that an explanation is still necessary. | |
