Absolutely. I read papers at the end of almost every semester and grow very tired
of the laziness, if not outright unwillingness, to credit sources. The problem
has grown worse with the availability of information on the internet, but the internet
does not change the rules about crediting sources. Plagiarism is still plagiarism!!
It really isn’t that hard to give credit where credit is due. I make every effort to do that
and expect others to do the same.

Thanks Serenity. :)

What really annoys me is when they post it and they get comments about how brilliant it/they are and they don’t say it’s not their words. I have actually commented a time or two taht directs them back here but I’m a bit tired of that.

I use a lot of expressions that I have gotten mostly from others and always credit them. It’s not that hard. Most of my stuff is not original but the way it’s put together is original (which is why it’s copyrightable).

Thanks for being here!

And you better get ready for your book to sell like hotcakes…
