"Offset" is meant to "stand out from the rest". "Stylistically" is meant as opposed to semantically; that is, the element in question does not really matter from the rest, but stands out solely for stylistic purposes.



In short: <b>

Used to highlight content purely for design reasons. Unlike other semantic tags such as <strong>

that, for example, it will make the screen reader pay special attention to the word while reading.
