I’m sorry for being a pedantic loser but you don’t need to use quote/unquote in text form—you can simply put quotes around the word. We use it in speech to convey that a word or phrase is quoted.

I.e. ”someday”

On the one hand, yes.

On the other hand, even if it is unnecessary effort, spelling it out can be a form of rhetorical emphasis distinct from simply putting it in quotes.
