    You can type all that, still funny when you know that a quote with a name is a source. Since you know the quotes source is that named person. Not really relevant if it is a correct quote or not, as a sourced lie is a thing as well.

    I mean its right there in your own example “…to cite, offer, or bring forward as evidence or support.”

      Cool then you must accept my previous statement of

      General Grievous says “[email protected] is lying about the quotes they provided. Lt. Col. Simon Ritchie was relieved of duty for malpractice years ago dishonorably.”

      It’s a quote, attributed to a name. Right?

      Edit: Would you feel better if I change the verbiage to “I wasn’t given a good source” or “validated source”?

        Yes, and that is also why you look up quotes and sources.

          Just so you know though… that was in the definition for “quote” not source… but I’ve changed the verbiage.

            Oh I know that was for the quote part as those are very much also describing a “source”
