Cheating on AB

[LoftyLottie]

Have you ever tried googling someones answer to a question and find it comes up word for word from another site. It's quite good fun. Do you ever google for an answer, copy and paste and then pretend it was all your own work?

[dothawkes31]

it would be easy to spot if i had done that, there would be no spelkling mistakes or typos lol

[Bbbananas]

You have got too much time on your hands Lottie !!

[LoftyLottie]

Not really Salla. I just tried it out because I had suspicions!!

[LoftyLottie]

Very interesting AnnieBody :o). Thanks.

I don't personally, LoftyLottie ! If I am able to help someone with their problems especially in Electronics Section (TV'S) it is through my own working experience gained from the Companies I have worked for. Computer Technology is not my Forte so I leave that up to the Computer Geeks.

[LoftyLottie]

Me too Redman. I might post a link to an answer that I google, but I do not claim to be the author! I make mistakes but at least they are all my own mistakes.

[ummmm]

I don't cheat....but I'm also very lazy.

[mallam]

LOL. The cavalier lopping of the cut-and-paste job is a nice touch.

And Lottie, it is hardly worth pretending ANYTHING on the web was all your own work! But youre right; there have been some pathetic pieces of plagiarism on here. Let's agree to either paste the link or edit the copy.

[LoftyLottie]

He he back Dan Cairo. Might just do that - but I have only just come in and am enjoying idling the time away for a short while whilst having a cuppa!!

[LoftyLottie]

You could pretend to be anything and an expert on everything on AB. Quite good really.

Might try to be an expert on Quantum Physics (and I don't really understand what it is all about).

[Bbbananas]

I used to like Quantum Physics on BBC2.
Or was that Quantum Leap....?

[LoftyLottie]

He, he Salla. Now off to get a life....................... ;o)

If I ever copy and paste an answer here from another site I usually also paste a link to the site I copied from so that people can read the whole article for themselves. Many of the answers to questions people ask here could be gotten themselves via Google.

everyone would know if I was cheating...it wouldn't be written with a Nottingham accent & the grammar would be correct :o)

If I can't explain something clearly enough, usually in gardening, I post a link. When someone asks 'what's this song?' I sometimes google the lyrics they've given to find the answer for them...is that cheating?

[LoftyLottie]

Yes, you are a big cheat Robinia. I thought you knew all the lyrics to all the songs ever written. You have disappointed me.

[Robinia]

hahaha...sorry Lottie you got it wrong...I know the latin names to EVERY plant in the world
;o)
