| Americans emphasize like <em>this?</em>
| And Europeans emphasise like <em>this</em>?
Pretty much.
A couple of others that I can think of: American typography (typographical
convention) puts two spaces after the punctuation that ends a sentence,
European typography tends to use only one[1]. American typography puts
trailing punctuation inside the quotation mark, "like this," whereas
European typography puts it outside, "like that". Yet another is that
American typography uses "double quotation marks" for quotations, while
European tends to use `single quotation marks'.[2]
[1] This is why Emacs has the sentence-end-double-space variable.
[2] Note the European style of sentence terminating punctuation.
