	Are the terms "unquote" and "Old Country" references to Orwell's 1984 in anyway? While I don't see how they are relevant, the term old country is used a lot, and "unquote" uses the language Newspeak's style of words, prefixing "un" to create an inverse, such as "ungood" instead of "bad" {{unsigned ip\|141.101.98.173}}		Are the terms "unquote" and "Old Country" references to Orwell's 1984 in anyway?

		+	Considering that in literature class this year, I've read part of the Epic of Gilgamesh (written circa 1700s BC), it's possible that people in the AD 3700s will be watching translations of Star Wars. /me is imagining a teacher giving the homework assignment "Watch Star Wars: Episode IV for the next lesson."

	Typing from a phone, but the title text is very likely from Neil Gaiman's recent book, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, where numerous references to a mythical "Old Country" are made.

		+	I don't think so. Place I most often heard of the 'old country' is immigrants, whose mother tongue is not English. The old country is where people talk like we used to, and say the sort of things we used to say, which English speakers don't have a similar expression for. Gaiman was pulling from the same source, is all. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.38.70\|162.158.38.70]] 22:47, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
