I can say the same for the French language: common written mistake are the ones for wich there is no aural difference. When I have to decide for either <em> or <strong>, I just say my sentence out loud; if I tend to mark a small pause after the emphasized element, I use <strong>, if not I use <em>. These are two arguments for the aural, but YMMV. -- </david_latapie> U+0F00 http://blog.empyree.org/en (English) http://blog.empyree.org/fr (Fran?ais) http://blog.empyree.org/sl (Slovensko)
