1 answer

Unnecessary words can often be set apart or downplayed through italics. Italics can help indicate that certain words are less important or can be emphasized differently in the context of writing. However, depending on the context or stylistic choices, other options like parentheses might also be used to indicate that certain information is supplementary or non-essential. Generally, italics or parentheses would be appropriate for this purpose.
