Not a post about plagiarism the act, but about the word itself.

There have been many discussions about plagiarism in recent weeks.

Plagiarism.

Not plagerism, not playgeresm. Not plagierism, not plagarsim.

Plagiarism.

Thank you.

Hi! I was looking at my friendsfriends list and came across your entry, and I feel compelled to tell you this: I registered for a class this semester in which the teacher wrote, in very big letters at the top of the syllabus, that "PLAGERISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED." There was a moment where I doubted myself, especially since she used variations of the same spelling elsewhere in the syllabus ("plagerize" and "plagerists"), but then I came to my senses, realized I was right, and dropped the class.

So, word.

Wow. That's... pathetic. Did you let the professor *know*?
