| | + | #Plagiarism is the use of another's words as one's own without giving proper credit. This is true even if you "paid for it" and have permission to use it |
| | + | #Selected examples do ''not'' prove a trend. If you want to show that "most people do X" by example, you can never prove your point with examples |
| | + | #Don't use "literally" if you mean "figuratively". Don't use "literally" if there's no figurative way to take a sentence. |
| | + | #"Ironic" means that something happened opposite to what you expect to happen. A woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is sad. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is coincidence. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by an ''insulin'' truck is ironic. |
