Additional emphasis method for posts (_word_ becomes italic word)

HACK: Additional emphasis method for posts (_word_ becomes italic word)
BY: KuraFire [www.kurafire.com]
DESCRIPTION: If users use _underscores_ to emphasize words (old skool italic), it will make those words italic in posts
DIFFICULTY: Easy
INSTALL-TIME: 20 seconds
STEPS: 1


EXTENDED DESCRIPTION:
I know plenty of people (myself included) who use _underscores_ when they emphasize words. This is mostly with people who use IRC a lot, which lacks italic words, so people use _these_ to emphasize instead. And sicne _underscores_ are a lot faster than typing [i]blabla[/i] or using the button (if you speedtype, going to your mouse is just sooooo slow ^_^), I figured people might want to have this on their board as well.
It will parse words with lowercase, uppercase, numbers and/or - or _ inside them. However, it won't take multiple words at once (ie. no spaces in-between) for then you couldn't use a normal _ without causing the rest of the text to become italicized. (not that I can really see people put a random underscore in a sentence, but still...)

It's _the_ easiest hack ever, to install ^_^

Installed.. I hate going [ i ]... for some reason brackets always confuse my typing fingers.

Yeah, it just doesn't work if you're typing really fast and you have to go to those silly brackets, eh?
