I vaguely remembered the quote PolarBear posted above, but it took a while (and a bit of Googling) for me to place it. Am I on the road to becoming a dinosaur? Please direct me to the nearest tarpit!

Highschool English
Quote is a verb. Quotation is a noun. e.g. I quoted so-and-so and it is that quotation to which I now refer. Sloppy grammer has given "quote" a secondary meaning as the noun form (see above).
If you want to state it properly, the question would be "what is your opinion about the use of quotations?" Alternatively, "what is you opinion about quoting someone?" Feel free to quote me on this. Last edited by jlynch1960; 01-05-2010 at 05:41 AM.

My recollection is that about 150 years ago, one county in Kentucky had 143% of their registered voters vote in an election...
This must be a Fox "no spin" poll, given the unbiased non-leading way in which the categories were described. All in fun!!!

Yogi Bera is famous for his malaprops and verbal bloopers.
Here is one I particularly like. When asked about frequenting a certain New York nightclub he replied: "No one goes there anymore...it's too crowded!" And during his run for the senate (I think 1958), JFK said the following at a dinner regarding rumors his father was buying the election: "I have just received the following telegram from my generous daddy. It says, 'Dear Jack: Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide."
