I italicize French, for example, along with Latin, Spanish and Italian. Languages like Hungarian, though, I tend not to italicize--it's more of a BOLD language, but I'd kill myself if I ever actually bolded sentences in a piece I've written. Also, Dave; you make a compelling point. It's the only thing Katakana is good for, though, I find. I find that I tend to italicize foreign words if they’re from a language that seems…feminine.

Italics are for sissies. Personally, whenever I write a foreign word, I render it in the Katakana alphabet. Italics are for sissies.
