<p>If let's say in my common app essay I have a sentence like this:</p>
<p>I walked by as the smell of the Bulgogi, a korean beef dish, filled the air.</p>
<p>Is bulgogi suppose to be in italics, quotes, or just left the way it is?
What about for this sentence:</p>
<p>Many of my classmates spend time at Hagwon, a place for tutoring.</p>
<p>Should Hagwon be in italics, quotes, or left the way it is?</p>
