Swiss is kinda right. I mean plagiarizing words is bad. As a writer, I respect other people's words and give credit to them if I know who said it and don't use it if I don't know to whom I should attribute it; or reword it enough such that it becomes my own. Most cases, I'll leave it because some things loose something when you paraphrase.

But I'm okay with a little of my work being attributed to someone else, as long as I get paid for it. I sold a girl in high school a paper that she won a contest with and money. She gave me some and we were cool. College is like that too. English majors make bank!
