Re: More about the bogus British report Powell Quoted at UN
Irish,
Two students both used the word "innovative" to describe a director's technique. Neither could know whether the film was innovative or not, and, I while I agree that they really didn't plagiarize "one" word, they might not have been able to supply an appropriate synonym if asked. Therefore, if they said, "The director's technique was ordinary" when asked for a synonym, lifting the word "innovative" might constitute an instance of plagiarism of a single word.
