Question

I have question to do I have reword the

sentence because it give the definition for food the Goetta, which is made from mixed pork, beef, oaks and seasonings, packaged into a roll and then fried and severed hot. I don't want it to turn up as plagiarism in my paper?

Answer 1

m, you went through all this yesterday with Writeteacher and Ms. Sue. Your use of the quotation from your source is a proper way to do it, in quotation marks with the in-text citation. Or you can reword it, but still give your source. You ,write, "Josen, in his book "?????" describes a Midwestern dish...." Either is proper.

Answer 2

Also double-check "oaks" as an ingredient. Oak trees? Leaves? Acorns? Are you sure it's not oats as in oatmeal? Oak is a genus of trees, with many sub-species and is not usually eaten except animals eat the acorns (seeds) produced by the tree.

Answer 3

What do you mean?

Answer 4

Nobody eats oak trees! It cannot be an ingredient in this food recipe.

Answer 5

And I hope nothing is "severed hot."

I think you mean "served hot," right?

Answer 6

Several posts ago, I recommended that m correct the typos. Apparently s/he ignored me. :-(

Instead, m has wasted the time of two more tutors because of carelessness.

Aarrgghh!

Answer 7

Yes, Ms. Sue ... very frustrating, indeed. =(

Answer 8

m, don't rely on "spell check" because it won't catch words that are spelled correctly, like "oaks" and "severed," although they are mistyped and do not apply to the subject matter or are wrong in the context of the sentence. Spell check only catches words that are misspelled, not wrong words.

Answer 9

That rude of what your saying and I have not been careless. I have correct the typos.

Answer 10

You see, "oaks" is spelled correctly, but misused here. We're assuming it's a typographical error. People do not eat oak trees. I'm guessing you mean "oats" as in oatmeal or oat bran, both of which are edible and commonly used in food. The same with "severed." It means something much different than "served," but is spelled correctly.
