Stolen contributions
|
Ho, ho, ho, hullo, hullo,
well, it seems the topic of stolen contributions/materials has become of interest again.
I
would like to say one thing about that: Very often it is not the Prada
or Birkin bag itself that gives itself away as fake, quite often it is
the person that wears it, the look doesn �t fit, the attitude, the pride
with which the merchadise is carried. People who buy originals don �t
normally wear them along with worn shoes, cheap make-up and the likes.
The
same goes for some printables and that is exactly why so many stolen ws
get spotted. People �s stuff is too good compared to whatever else they
write....
In general, I think the Pareto principle applies here
as well, about 20% of every day �s contributions are stolen, at least in
part. |

I �ve seen here an original Prada bag in a beggar �s hand. I know it is stolen as it doesn �t fit there, but it �s quite difficult to prove it. But I will. Somehow. 
I know what you say Blunderbuster and...I approve this message!  |

You are totally right ! and in another way I am always astonished to see which worksheets teachers can give to their students, I would be ashamed to offer such poor work to my students, and the worst is that you can always find people ( especially in other sites) to download these worksheets, poor learners !
Just my thought when I read your post
Have a nice weekend

I did see a ws today in which the text looks like it �s photocopied from an ESL book (it looks scanned and a couple of activities are given on the image of the text, and, if I �m not mistaken, there �s also a page number on the text!)...However, I don �t know the book, so I can �t report it...
Has anyone else seen the fake Birkin bag today? If you have and you know where the original can be found, please report it.
