Usage/typographic conventions question: Italics for non-personal name proper nouns like band names and restaurants in RPF--is this some convention borrowed from entertainment reporting? I’m seeing it in RPF a lot. Did it come from bandom maybe? I can’t lie, it freaks me out because it feels like one more trick trademark owners have pulled, convincing people that their words are super-special and must be treated differently, like they’re untranslated non-English words or something. And now it’s in my fiction.
