Update on Plagiarism
Don't cheat, you will eventually get
caught (think Jayson Blair, Stephen
Ambrose, and Rick Bragg)
Language is not an abstract construction of the
learned, or of dictionary makers, but it is something
arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections,
tastes, of long generations of humanity, and has its
bases broad and low, close to the ground.
         Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
         "Slang in America"
