If you really were a college professor, you'd know about little things like plagiarism.

Cowardly pseudonymous trog-bloggers constantly remind us about the merits of integrity, and the necessity of playing “by the rules,” and so when they publish essays that they pretend to have written (so much pretending hereabouts … who’re the wannabes, anyway?), it’s important to remind readers, especially younger ones, of those times when unattributed Internet content is foisted off as original.

The rules in this case state that when one publishes the written work of others, he or she should tell us who wrote the words. Otherwise, it’s plagiarism.

Speaking of Professor Erika, New Albany’s foremost pseudonymous plagiarist, here is the unattributed source of her latest Luddite “greeting card” mirth:

From the second paragraph through, “Sorry to hear your ex-wife got remarried,” and including an excerpt near the end: http://www.wisebread.com/make-5-cheap-greeting-cards-that-blow-hallmark-away

As for the knee-slapping greeting card expressions, she might have stolen them from a number of websites, but here’s one where all are found to be listed: http://www.dribbleglass.com/Jokes/hallmark.htm.

The moral of the story? Only wannabes pretend, Erika.
