I believe 99.9% of the people use emphases to make text underlined and bold, and yet we call those _emphasis_ ([ambiguously](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/weak-vs-strong-emphasis/1943)) and _strong emphasis_.

The only valid counter-argument I’ve seen so far came from my browser’s spellchecker, which persistently claims that _unordered_ is not an English word (neither is _inline_). As I don’t feel full confidence in this regard, any comments from native speakers would be herzlich wilkommen.
