"A professor at Miami Dade College and co-author of the textbook The Freedom to Communicate is accusing a colleague and fellow author of plagiarizing portions of the book, the Miami Herald reports. What makes this plagiarism spat distinctive amid the recent spate of high-profile cases is the allegation that Adam Vellone, a communications professor, plagiarized the definition of plagiarism in the textbook, lifting it nearly word for word from Turnitin, a plagiarism-detection website."

Well, if you’re going to plagiarize something, the definition of plagiarize is a good place to start.

For that matter, if you want to teach people how NOT to plagiarize something, the definition of plagiarism is a good place to start.
