Plagiarism?

According to my Pocket Learner`s Dictionary it says plagiarism is palming other people`s work of as your own. I thought it was blindingly obvious that that quiz wasn`t mine.

First it had far too few spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes to be mine. Second it was bleeding obvious that it was written by a tefl lifer and I have only been in the game for 4 months or so. Finally I would never have written a quiz where I only got a score of 8 out of 30.

A stunningly accurate quiz though and my score of 8 puts me correctly down as a rookie tefl teacher.

What is your score dmb or don`t you want to play?

Just to be pedantic the quiz comes originally form englishteacherx.com and was plagiarised from there. This site also has a great quiz called:
How to spot a sucky language school.

Lordy, lord, lord 31.
Can anyone be bothered to explain it to him? I haven't the energy. Actually, it might be more amusing to see how long it takes him to work it out.

I scored 14. Hey dmb, why d'you support Liverpool? They are affiliated to the tims. Ever heard of this new keeper? Did he even get a game for Man C.? Souness is a traitor. What's he playing at giving Bellamy to the 'tic?

[dmb]

During the late 70s the Liverpool side consısted of many Scots-thats why. Why are Liverpool and Celtic connected? Irish immigration to Liverpool? I hadn't heard of the new keeper and I hope Bellamy doesn't become the new 'Larson'

[Scarred2]

Bellamy is a total *beep* tho, I wish Souness had decked him proper. Heard that the Incredible Sulk Anelka is joining that other manager friendly striker Pierre Van Hoowhatever, should be fun.

[hobo]

Why'd you delete your post, 31? Or are you and howmucharefags one and the same?

[31]

I deleted my post because it didn`t get past the censor and *beep* looks embarassing. No we are not one and the same.

[corall]

i got 15

[howmucharefags]

Come on dmb!! Surely I don't need to explain the Liverpool- Celtic connection. Aye, Souness should have applied the Glasgow kiss to Bellamy. Wideo.
