PSA
To paraphrase the lovely Melissa Summers over at Suburban Bliss, it’s come to my attention that some people need to be reminded to think their own thoughts and write their own words (Hi,Andrea!)
Don’t get me wrong, I love it when somebody likes what I’ve written enough to talk about it on their own blog. But, when that somebody (hi, Andrea!) tries to pass off an entire post as something she wrote herself, well, that’s not cool. In fact, it’s plagiarism. And I’m an English teacher; we take plagiarism very seriously, even when it isn’t our words that are being stolen.
So, just a friendly reminder: What I write on this site is copyrighted; iVillage owns every single word. And since they pay me good money for them, and since, if you blog yourself you know that sometimes they don’t flow all that easily, please, don’t steal them.
Enjoy the posts. Talk about them. Link to them. But don’t just take them. It’s just not cool.
