@eusebiusclay Every major dictionary includes "quote" as a noun from as far back as 1888.@sapinker@NewYorker -
@GrantBarrett@sapinker@NewYorker Here is a quotation: "the Heritage 1969, 1982 usage panel rejected it by a large majority" -
@eusebiusclay Doesn't matter. It has been a noun for more than a hundred years, regardless of usage opinions.@sapinker@NewYorker -
@GrantBarrett@sapinker@NewYorker The English across the pond is also "more correct." But this boring, let's argue about something else. :)
