Aaron Weber’s take on italics will have you cracking up. After hearing the comedian’s uproariously funny views and thoughts on italics, you’ll never look at them the same again. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear how he used to think about and view italicized words.

The English language is a tricky one to master. It’s often called one of the most challenging languages in the world to learn. There are so many rules to follow whenever either speaking or writing English, many of which are hard to keep straight. But to complicate matters even further, for every rule in the English language, and there are a lot of them, there is an exception. So, there ya go.

Throughout school, from kindergarten through high school and even in college, students are required to take English classes. They take all these classes in the very language we all speak every day, and many people still struggle with something as basic as knowing which form of 'there' to use and when. So, it should come as no surprise when someone becomes more than a little puzzled upon encountering an italicized word.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Aaron explained what he used to think italicized words meant. He also gave a deliriously funny real-life example of him responding to an italicized word in the classroom.

“If I’m reading out loud, and a word is just slanted, what do I do with that?” he asked. “I didn’t ask. I assumed. I thought italics meant that I was supposed to read it in an Italian accent. That’s what I thought the word meant. Y’all understand how I got there?”

Well, using this line of thinking, when called upon to read in class, that’s exactly what Aaron did, much to the surprise and confusion of his classmates.

“My friend’s like, ‘Why did you do that, man?’ he recalled. “I was like, ‘Why did y’all not do that?’”
