8: Add "inter alia" as an example of a Latinism #151

I noticed this had some inconsistent usage in the corpus where it went both ways, but it should be italicized since "inter" could be confused with the English word.

OK, thanks. We're not aiming to have a complete list there, it's not really practical to encompass every single Latin phrase one might come across. But, we should update this in the corpus, do you have time to do that? Just push directly, PRs are not necessary.

Yep, I already fixed the corpus. I figured this one was useful because we have lots of examples of phrases beginning with "in" and none with "inter" so this might help people analogize more easily if they find other phrases that start with inter.
