'Quote' is a verb. 'Quotation' is a noun.

Perhaps in England when speaking formal English, that comment could be correct. In everyday speech and informal English, quote is often treated as a shortened form of quotation.
I have seldom seen a recent document where the correct singular form of thou is used. Ditto for the singular thy. Thou, sirrah, are a pedant and thy post is fusty. |

The use of the singular 'you' was considered "corrupt and unsound" by Thomas Ellwood in the 17th century.
