[stylist] editing question

[Joe Orozco]

So far as I know, the apostrophe is only used in dialogue where one
character is quoting someone else.  Italics are used to communicate thoughts
or terms in foreign languages.  Please correct me though if this is
incorrect.--Joe

some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all."--Sam Ewing
