Underline My Ass
                            
Un­der­lin­ing is an­other dreary type­writer habit.
Type­writ­ers had no bold or italic styling. So the only way to em­pha­size text was to back up the car­riage and type un­der­scores be­neath the text.
It was a workaround for short­com­ings in type­writer technology. In a printed doc­u­ment, don’t un­der­line. Ever.
It’s ugly and it makes text harder to read.
