[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8905494, member: 683408"] I fail to see your proof that any definition ANYWHERE says a quote must include every single word from the source, despite your claims that it does. I also take note that you contradicted your own self-created definition by providing a quote from Othello that was literally just one sentence. And you properly described it as verbatim. And that you were unable to reconcile the contradiction. I also note that you cannot show ANY reference that says a quote must be sentence-for-sentence, paragraph-for-paragraph, chapter-for-chapter. The definition YOU shared indicates it is word-for-word. Every definition in every dictionary says verbatim means word-for-word. It's really odd that you keep giving us evidence that you think proves us wrong, then when the contradiction is pointed out, you state the evidence you provided is wrong. "When You Must Cite Although you should use sources creatively and flexibly to help you generate ideas and sharpen your argument, there are some hard-and-fast rules about when and how some sources should be acknowledged in your project. 1.

How can ONE word POSSIBLY be verbatim, when (by your self-created rule) a verbatim quote must " include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL"? How can they deny the infinite expertise of Michael the linguist, and teach such gibberish to all those students?!?! [/QUOTE]
