Do I need to use a quotes?
Hi everyone!
I'm desperetely trying to write an article. Here is a sentence from it:
There was predicted the possibility of "abrupt'' kind of condensation.
Actually, "abrupt" is not an adjective here; I mean it to be a name of a pfenomenon (some type of condensaion) and to explain such a name in next sentences.
Do I need to use a quotes?
P.S. Does the word "sharp" sound weird here? I intend to emphasize that this processs happens in a very fast/sharp/etc. manner. Could you offer me a better name ? )
