Posted: 6/6/05 at 12:49pmi'm picky... but it's quotation... quote is a verb (to quote), quotation is the noun.

Posted: 6/6/05 at 12:55pmActually, quote is a noun and is an informal way to say quotation. So it can stay.

quote can be used as a truncation for quotation, as descriped in the last paragraph below....however, few people I know would.......educators and librarians will usually use "quotation" for the noun.
quote ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kwt)
v. quot·ed, quot·ing, quotes
v. tr.
To repeat or copy the words of (another), usually with acknowledgment of the source.
To cite or refer to for illustration or proof.
To repeat a brief passage or excerpt from: The saxophonist quoted a Duke Ellington melody in his solo.
To state (a price) for securities, goods, or services.
v. intr.
To give a quotation, as from a book.
n.
Informal. A quotation.
A quotation mark.
Used by a speaker to indicate the beginning of a quotation.
A dictum; a saying.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Middle English coten, to mark a book with numbers or marginal references, from Old French coter, from Medieval Latin quotre, to number chapters, from Latin quotus, of what number, from quot, how many. See kwo- in Indo-European Roots.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
quoter n.
Usage Note: People have been using the noun quote as a truncation of quotation for over 100 years, and its use in less formal contexts is widespread today. Language critics have objected to this usage, however, as unduly journalistic or breezy. As such, it is best avoided in more formal situations. The Usage Panel, at least, shows more tolerance for the word as the informality of the situation increases. Thus, only 38 percent of Panelists accept the example He began the chapter with a quote from the Bible, but the percentage rises to 53 when the source of the quotation is less serious: He lightened up his talk by throwing in quotes from Marx Brothers movies.

Posted: 6/6/05 at 2:31pmff, every teacher i've ever known has corrected people in the class on that per the definitions that elphaba gave. quote as a noun is a slang term and is not "proper english"

Norbert Leo Butz:
"I feel like crying, because when I heard my name, I just got the joke. I just got it. First and foremost I want to thank God, because there is no way that somebody with my name from Stockton, Missouri ends up at Radio City Music Hall holding one of these without some divine intervention. I want to say hello to my daughters, my beautiful daughters, Clare and Maggie, who are my inspiration every night and every day. I love you two so much, and there is no school tomorrow, ok? My parents are here, Norbert and Elaine. Yes, he is the culprit."
A funny, adorable man! *squees some more and dances the happy dance to celebrate*
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys
