Chelsea: It looks like your post was written a couple of years ago, but I thought you might want to know that another site lifted a chunk of it verbatim. I spotted it because it also included "Preamble is abbreviated pmbl. (as in my opening quotation)." I thought you might like to look around their website to see if there is anything else they plagiarized. I'm a professional writer myself, and if someone else noticed my work being plagiarized, I would certainly like to know. Here's the page with that section: http://guides.highpoint.edu/c.php?g=19434&p=109628 Sincerely, Leslie
