Another way to put this is, is the audience you're writing to aware of Latin phrases incorporated in the English language? If yes, no need to italicize. If no, italicize. This is up to your discretion. | |

Anyone who doesn't believe that is welcome to explain the appearance of, for instance, purely Arabic words using 'q' without 'u', or of purely Chinese units of measure… | |
