Because \textem{} is neither LaTeX nor TeX but something you might  
have invented. I can't find it my LaTeX Companion, second edition,  
from January 2005 ...


The is not much sense in distinguishing between so-called "TeX" and  
so-called "LaTeX." LaTeX understands TeX quite well. Do you change  
your voice or do something else while speaking and using a word that  
has its origin in Latin or one that has Celtic or Scandinavian  
ancestors or one that has been taken over from English or German?

I think it's possible to work through all available TeX sources on  
CTAN and determine the few thousand code words that they get  
fontified differently then obvious LaTeX code words.
