User: What is plagiarism? How is it different from the correct use of sourced information?
Weegy: Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as the "wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work. [ It is different from the correct use of sourced information because sourced information gives credit where it's due and never presents it as one's original ideas. ]

Weegy: These are two absolutely different things , you quote someone verbatim , exactly as he said it and you relay his message as he wanted it said but paraphrasing has the inherent danger of you inserting your own opinion and understanding of what the [ guy said and sometimes people abuse and misuse quotes from great men just to prove their own point of view .
