Upper-case tags? How 90s.

No, you need to use the <EM> tag !

I second that! So many web devs still using <i> tag. Even right here on little ol' CP.

Whenever I try to use <em> in an article it gets replaced.

In the online editor? With the default config, it should be the other way round - <i> should be replaced with <em>.

No. I write in Notepad and email them.

I've never seen that happen, but maybe I'll try to be more observant in the future.

Ah - it's human hamster error then.

Possibly. I'm fairly sure they pass articles through a filter upon arrival that way.

"em" is way too verbose. Em prefer the good ol' "i".

You're imagining things.
I thought em predated i.

em is preferred since HTML 4.01. ≪I> has been there since before CSS. All tags are suggestions to the renderer and as such the suggestion is EMphasis. ≪b> should be replaced with strong also.

You are all wrong. a <span style="font-style: italic"> is the way to go!! 
|
|
|
|
|
Actually, I do agree with you. Styling should be in CSS.
|
|
|
|
|
em is not a replacement for i, they have semantically different meanings. It's the specific scenario that dictates preference.
|

The <i> tag is actually more appropriate here, since it is still the element to be used for typographically italicized text i.e. text that is just in italic without any semantics to it whatsoever. <em> is meant to be used for emphasis/stressing.

Exactly, and the browser should decide how to do that. Not every system can italicize; some may need to make the text blink instead.

Actually am 'icebow'. out walking in bright sun, high ish, on a cold day, and noticed an upside down rain bow in the sky. High up. Looking closer, noticed there were two circular rainbows around the sun, and off the top of each, a cup shaped inverted rainbow.
The inner icebow round the sun had two bright spots too. Here is th eclosest pic I can find to it:

It was really quite funky.

Cool!

"ice bow" or gloriole, as your link says.
Why are people obsessed with naming things, and correcting other people?
Its called any one of a number of things, depending ion which language is used, and what any one individual decides to call it if what he comes up with is a comprehensible.
I think its common in people who only speak one language, they become fixated. As soon as you learn other languages, the concept of 'correct name' disappears entirely.

That is the basis of communication, and hence, society. It is hard to warn about a lion in the bushes if you cannot name the thing.

..three languages from this tongue. When does the concept disappear in my head?

I guess you are an exception then. (Unless you like to show off your English  )

As per your own link, this is actually called a sundog.
I took a picture of one myself a few years ago. Not quite as fully-formed as the one you linked to, but you can see it's the same phenomenon. I really wish I could find it--if I remember correctly, I took a bunch of separate pictures then merged them all together with one of those photo stitching utilities.
