And how do you read it out loud?
"The <i>Gannet</i> is getting us <em>nowhere</em>"
Try to read the above to someone over the phone. Just once?

Yes, it can. And no matter how you render the I-element ...
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
