Can one plagiarise by omission ?

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

I think that the second definition would suggest yes.

People do that here all the time, but in this case I would use the second definition as well, for the same reasons as you gave.


Excuse my (lack of) spelling abilities.

No, your spelling is perfectly acceptable. It is just the American form.

well....those links were interesting indeed. I&#39;m disappointed. IC, you&#39;re more than smart enough to come up with this stuff yourself. If u thought it was interesting, then why didn&#39;t you paraphrase it? It should&#39;ve been less worse than just copy-paste it without mentioning the source.

You&#39;re always so strict about personal freedom. When you copy-paste someone elses writings and pretend they&#39;re yours, you&#39;re invading the freedom of press. I recall you have always protected that specific freedom.....

It was a stupid thing to do. You do stuff like this in more serious matters, as in a college paper or something, you can get in serious trouble.

Think about it.
