When you are an academic, grading one sort-of plagiarised paper can ruin your whole day.

I say 'sort-of' because it's not quite a word-for-word copy. It's more of a "cut out a few words here and there and rearrange one sentence" copy.

I never know what to do with these - it's not to-the-letter plagiarism, if you're going to "lawyerball" it, but it's still for-sure not the student's own work.

I hate this sort of thing.
