A few weeks ago, the English instructor and I were reviewing my paper on American Sniper. He gets to about the third page when he asks me, "Did you cut and paste here because the font is slightly different?"
"Uh," I respond. "I hadn't noticed that."
He asks me again, did I cut and paste that sentence?
"Yes, that word there." I point. A word which I can't pronounce, but nevertheless, it is still important. I think for a moment, and then realize in that too late fashion, did he just mildly excuse me of plagiarism? Granted, I could have stole the sentence off of a previous work of mine.
Huh.
