Unquote is when there is more to come in the same sentence.
i.e. The planet Pluto according to Scientist Joe Shmoe said and I quote The planet Pluto should no longer be considered a planet unquote but he went on to say later, quote because it has completely gone to the dogs end quote.
If you buy this I got a bridge in Portland you might be interested in. But it makes sense to me!!!

Not sure, but I would guess it depends where, in the whole statement, the quoted piece came from. Like, if the quote was just a few words from the middle of someone's sentence, it would be "un-quote", because it really wasn't the end. If they quote a whole line or speech I would say "end quote" where the period would be- signifying a whole thought and the completion thereof.

I heard something about this sometime ago. I think the comparison then was between end quote and close quote. I prefer end quote. Unquote reads to me as if one is saying to remove a given passage from quotation.

Its simple you dont even have to think about quoting, when you say "un" that means you have taken back that what you are saying is a quote. When you say end, you a signifying it is the end of your quotation.

The only one I've noticed is that people tend to say...
quote, un-quote, "the quote" vs.
quote, "the quote", end quote.

QUOTE UNQUOTE MEANS-"I MADE A DECISION"
QUOTE END QUOTE MEANS- "I MADE A DECISION", NOW LEAVE ME ALONE.

I dunno. I hear people say it but I don't really know how to use it. I'll check back and see what everyone says. Hopefully someone will give us a good answer :)
