YURIMA: In general );Everyone makes mistakes,and time,
it might you.(knowing how the world works,after you correct
someone's error,you will be next to make one!)How often have
you seen a message from someone correcting another's
spelling mistakes-and that message itself contains a
spelling error? Believe me, the experience is humbling.

Just becouse you may know more than others in certain areas
doesn't give you the right to gloat, taunt,or lord it over
them.When someone makes a mistakes-whether it's spelling or
grammar error,a stupid question,or an unnecessarily long
answer-be kind about it.Think twice about correcting someone
If someone writes"compleat"instead of"complete,"is it really
necssary to say anything?Probably not.A well-mannered person
realizes that having good manners(or knoledge of spelling
or grammar)isn't alicense to go around correcting everyone
else.In fact,doing so can be downright annoying and rude
in and of itself!

If you decide the error is grave enough that it must be
corrected,be kind.if possible,inform the person of the
error politely,preferably by private e-mail rather than on
a public electronic bulletin board.Give people the benefit
of the doubt:assume that they are intelligent but just don't
know this subject quite as well as they could or perhaps
were in too much of a hurry.and never be Arrogant or Self-
righteous in your..Message.
Be helpfull...

I usually get flamed for daring to say someone is plagerising
but it is lying in a very low form.

Not from me you won't.

I would say though that, we could state to the OP that she cannot pass this off as her own work.

It is lying as she has written it is her own work, I take it as that, when it is not.

I don't think Sue Fox would be too impressed, do you?

Book Three - True Love
Chapter One - What Is True Love?
Section 1. Love Is the Source of Peace and Happiness


which is one of her blogs which also are alas not her
own words.

Oh dear.

OP.

These works are not your own. When quoting works written by others, it is law to cite the author. The true author.

Maybe it is not a law in South Korea - it certainly was not a law in SA until a few years back when we became a developing countrydunno

Even if it's not law, it's still wrong to claim you wrote somthing you didn't write.


Right?
