What is an italicized pronoun?

The term "italicized pronoun" is not a standard grammatical term. Pronouns are not typically italicized in writing.

Here's why:

* Italicization is used for emphasis: We italicize words or phrases for emphasis or to highlight specific terms. Pronouns, while important for grammar, are rarely used for emphasis in this way.

* Pronouns are essential for grammar: Pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition and create smoother writing. They have a specific grammatical function that doesn't require italicization.

Here's an example:

* Incorrect: *He* went to the store.

* Correct: He went to the store.

Possible reasons for confusion:

You might have encountered italicized pronouns in specific contexts, such as:

* Titles of works: If a pronoun is part of a title, it might be italicized. For example, *He Who Laughs Last*.

* Direct quotes: If a pronoun is part of a direct quote, the entire quote might be italicized.
