/italic/ is also how it used to be done way back in the early BBS/MUD/MUSH days (along with _underline_)

Yes I think this makes much more sense to me since the / operators align with how the characters in italic looks once it is applied ( Slightly tilted )

And underline.

I dont understand why they aren't used that way any more.
