Give Up the Habit of Underlining
Use italics to indicate the name of a publication or to emphasize words in your text. Avoid underlining. It is merely a poor substitute for using italics. Underlining was popular during the era of typewriters, because typewriters had no keys for bold or italics. Technology has come a long way since typewriters.
Also, underlining makes text difficult to read because it takes up white space between lines (See Garner’s Modern American Usage, Copyright 2003, Oxford University Press.)
