Honest to goodness, my friends, dim Americans confuse plagiarism with Pelagianism. Dim Americans do not know what either word means, but Pelagianism is a (debatable) Christian heresy from about 500 CE, and the word has an odious odor for many thick-of-mind-and-body, never-had-an-original-thought, sons-of-the-sons-of-the-sons-of-the-pioneers-at-least-in-their-own-minds Americans.
Plagiarism is not good, but dimwits will make it worse than torture. Not knowing what the word means only makes it worse, for electoral purposes.
Good night, and good luck!
