Weird. Searching on Google for `textem latex' results in
4,930 results, whose two of them are the following:
,----[ Introduction to LaTeX ]
|
| LaTeX provides lots of typestyles. Below is a list of some of
| the styles. To get italics, you can type \textit{italics}:
|
| * \textrm - Roman
| * \textit - Italics
| * \textem - Emphasis (toggles between \it and \rm)
| * \textbf - Boldface
| * \textsl - Slanted
| * \textsf - Sans serif
| * \textsc - Small caps
| * \texttt - Typewriter
`----
or
,----[ a short introduction ]
|
| Marking up text
| Emphasis: {\em ...} or \textem{...}
`----
which clearly shows what I explained: the use of the TeX or of
the LaTeX command.

I know, but it would help me learning when I write TeX or when I
write LaTeX. It gives a feeling of what's portable, and what's
not (to or from ConTeXt, for example).

No, but sometimes you will say the expression /between quotes/.
And analogies are bad... because you always can show one thing
and its opposite.
