Big Words, Copied Lines
Shoot me people for being so bored and choosing today's topic. Like I will ever care. HA!
According to wikipedia:
Plagiarism (from the Latin plagiare, "to kidnap") is the practice of claiming, or implying, original authorship of (or incorporating material from) someone else's written or creative work, in whole or in part, into one's own without adequate acknowledgement. Unlike cases of forgery, in which the authenticity of the writing, document, or some other kind of object, itself is in question, plagiarism is concerned with the issue of false attribution.
Which brings to mind why I find it emphatically difficult to believe some of those blogs written by "pseudo" writers. Sure this is a free world, and we have this freedom of speech, freedom to express those covert thoughts. Bla, bla, bla. Yadda. Yadda. Yadda. Yeah sure, I understand that.
However, I feel immensely sorry for the ones from whom these phony bloggers stole the contents of their blogs without due acknowledgement. Is it too difficult to link the source in your blog? Or is it too embarassing to admit that you really can't compose a decent essay? It's alright. We all start from nonsensical blurbs. Nothing wrong with that.
I am no great writer myself, I know that. I, however, make sure that my entries are ORIGINAL. Or if I am forced to quote from a source, I make sure I LINK BACK!
Can't scrawl something of your own? Draft those dogmas in your native tongue, if you are not sure of the grammar. I'm sure nobody would mind. I won't mind. Do you mind?
Note to readers. Next time you want to impress your peers with your writing skills, make sure they will never find out where you stole those lines from. Ngork! It's so sad that you debase your friends' intelligence with those forged entries of yours.
How sad.
Go ahead and bitch about it. Make sure your grammar's right. While you're at it, go check out the meaning of INTEGRITY.
By the way, go figure the significance of the twin's picture. LOL!

This medium allows too much anonimity and people can write what they want without attributing anything and no accountability..which has produced a generation of writer theives that don't have any original ideas of their ow. And besides the two little girls being just as cute as can be, I have no idea of the significance of the picture being in this article, although I do know, there is a reason, that only you know..care to share it??

One twin has obviously stolen the identity of the other and is clearly plagiarizing the other's outfit. Excellent example of how plagiarism can start so young!
