Examples:
– Example 1:

User1: I can’t believe how hot it is today! ☀️

User2: Quote: “I can’t believe how hot it is today! ☀️”

In this example, User2 uses the term “quote” to copy User1’s message and present it separately within quotation marks. This helps to reference User1’s words accurately while adding their own comment or response.

– Example 2:

User1: Just watched the new Marvel movie, it was amazing! 🎥✨

User2: Quote: “Just watched the new Marvel movie, it was amazing! 🎥✨”

User3: I totally agree! The visual effects were mind-blowing!

In this example, User2 quotes User1’s message to highlight and emphasize it. User3 then responds to the quote agreeing with User1’s sentiment about the movie.

By using the “quote” term followed by the original message, internet users are able to represent the content accurately, attribute it to the original author, and respond directly to specific statements or comments.
