Yes it was...and totally unnecessary to go that far. I only use one of those lines in the css...plus any special divs or somesuch:

Code:
em    {font-style:italic}
em em {font-style:normal}

div.telepath    {font-style:italic}
div.telepath em {font-style:normal; color:blue}


Code:
<div class="telepath">

even though it has nothing to do with the point!</p>
<p>Another sentence he said telepathically.</p>
</div>

The intent is to emphasize words that are already surrounded by italicized words - and, as we all know, <em> does NOT have to be just italics...it just means emphasized...and you can emphasize words or phrases in many different ways....like a different color, font size, or font-type...
