What a Photographic mamory!
 


Hi, all of you out there!
I noticed that very often many of you signal stolen WS as soon as they appear on the site.
That is a really a good thing.
However, I am still astonished.
How could you guys remember all the (at least your)  WS so well that you can signal the stolen ones so quickly.
I personally cannot say if some of my WS has been stolen, especially if the offender has changed it even a little.
I don�t have such a memory regarding the number of WS I uploaded and those we already have on the site.
So, I often thought these guys have a trick that helps them recognize a stolen WS as soon as it is uploaded.

Would you please tell me if it is the case. If yes, what is it?

Hi, I don�t recognize all worksheets, but some teachers have a real "signature". Even before I open a worksheet I can tell if it�s from Vanda, Pika, Icha, Frenchfrog Katiana and so on. Some of the very colourful worksheets with original pictures just remain in my head and once I downloaded them I would recognize them. Of course, I normaly don�t remember the number of the worksheet, but I know whose work it is, and if I have the time I look it up.

I suppose you refer to  Domnitza�s worksheets and her comments on the Forum. Well, sometimes we just check the new ws to see how the things are going and ....surprise....you can see your own ws , without posting it!!! Or at least not as a new contribution.
The only trick is ...a good memory. I can recognize my ws because I worked a lot to make them. I  can also recognize other people�s ws only  because I used them with my studenrts.
So....it is not a bad thing to report stolen worksheets.

I absolutely agree with you my dear goodnesses. Although it may happen as s.lefevre and donapeter said, I really admire that special talent that some members have to remember the worksheets or to find out that a special one has been stolen from a site!!!!
 
Thanks to all of them.
 
Congratulations and....
