Default Re: More about the bogus British report Powell Quoted at UN

I have failed students when one, yes one, word has been plagiarized.
Umm...that's impossible (plagiarizing a word, not you failing them). Unless we're talking about some sort of copyright issue, using the same word that someone else did in a literary work can never be plagiarism.

plagiarize:
transitive senses : to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source
intransitive senses : to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source
