Okay here's the thing. After a tough verbal fight with my friend, I concluded that I will post this question here and get some concrete answers. According to what I feel, italicized words are used - **For internal monologues** - **For stressing on certain words** * * * **But is this valid?** I saw her look towards me as I entered the office, "It was him." I turned around to see who she was pointing at. But there was no one. She was not looking looking _towards_ me.She was looking _at_ me. * * * The argument that my friend gives is that I should not use the italicized words in sentences because it looks rude to read. But I say why can't I if I want the tone at that very word to be emphasized? He says I should use single inverted commas instead. But I use them for my dialogues within dialogues. Please help. I am really confused.
