How is plagiarism an acceptable mistake? Do you even know what plagiarism means?

From the Oxford Dictionary:

Quote
The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

In what world is it ever acceptable to pass someone else's work off as your own? That's what we're talking about, right?
In this world, right here. Read again:

Absolute e-warior bullshit. Nobody in the real world strongly cares about that unless we're talking about published/for-profit work.
Acceptable or not, fact is that it can, has, and will happen as a mistake. Claiming otherwise is DISHONEST. This is not even up for debate as it's a factual statement. Hence, end of story.

I see it as this
