Not if when one cuts-and-pastes from someone else one then puts the 
cut-and-pasted words in *red*. Plagiarism is damn near impossible 
then..

 From my perspective, the really scary thing is self-plagiarism: 
writing a paragraph, looking at it, and then thinking that it is 
remarkably similar to a paragraph I wrote last year...
