"If you are writing by hand, then only you can underline to highlight the LATIN words." = "underline" is STRICTLY PROHIBITED in printed and cyber world. NO, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAN and SHOULD. UNDERLINE IS NOT STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN PRINTED OR CYBER WORLD. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE FORMAT OF THE JOURNAL YOU ARE REFERRING TO.
"There is no rule which says that you have to underline it. Linne never underlined names it in his book!! There is no rule NOW which says that you must write the latin names in italics either" = ALLOWS me to go WITHOUT ITALICS in printed and cyber world. NO THIS DOESNT ALLOW YOU TO GO WITHOUT ITALICS. AS IN PRINTED OR CYBERWORLD YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE ENGLISH ETHICS AND YOU MUST WRITE A NON ENGLISH WORDS IN ITALICS. If there is no such rule nothing can prohibit use of UNDERLINE+ITALIC+BOLD = All of the above allows me to go for all, UNDERLINE+ITALIC+BOLD, when i am not handwriting or typing for a journal. I DIDNT SAY THAT. " UNDERLINE+ITALIC+BOLD : these are actually three different ways of highlighting," IN YOUR SELF WRITTEN BOOK OR CYBERWORLD (NOT SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS) YOU CAN USE EITHER OR ALL OF THESE TOGETHER. BUT FOR ANY SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL YOU MUST FOLLOW THE FORMAT OF THE JOURNAL. ITS ALWAYS PROVIDED IN THE JOURNAL. Bottom line is: UNDERLINES CAN BE USED WHEN YOU ARE WRITING YOUR OWN BOOK OR TEXT (NON SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS) AND UNDERLINES SHOULD BE USED WHEN YOU ARE WRITING BY HAND. UNDERLINE+ITALIC+BOLD OR EITHER OF THEM CAN BE USED WHEN YOU ARE WRITING YOUR OWN BOOK OR TEXT (NON SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS) ATLEAST ITALICS: SHOULD BE USED IN PRINTED MATTER FOR LATIN NAMES EVEN IF IT IS NOT SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS, TO DENOTE A NON-ENGLISH WORD FOLLOWING ENGLISH WRITING TRADITION. When I say technical suggestion then it means FOLLOWING ENGLISH TRADITION AND ETHICS When I say rules, then it means FOLLOWING ICBN --
