The Kid and I
Paul is downstate visiting his mending mom for the week, I am off work secondary to a sparkling case of shingles, so, it's just the kid and I til late Friday. I'm looking forward to it. We have some interesting conversations; like tonight over pizza...
"So, Mom, when you write something directly out of a book, that's copywriting, right?"
"Um, not exactly, that would be plagerism"
"But you copy it and write it, right."
"Well, right."
So, we discussed plagerism, what it was, when using someone elses words verbatim is acceptable and how to give the original writer credit. I bit more advanced then his 4th grade mind needed, but he got it, (I think)
We tried to call Denise, but no answer. She would be able to explain plagerism much better than I. Some day I will spark that conversation.
