This is part vibes part accessibility but I think we need to drop a load of the long italic blocks as I think it's really hard to read and this is backed up with accessibility studies:

Also, sans serif, monospaced, and roman font types increased significantly the reading per- formance, while italic fonts decreased reading performance. In particular, Arial It. should be avoided since it signifi- cantly decreases readability.

The 2 places I think we need to change this are below:
