So I was proofreading for one of my friends...
riseofthrawn: and lol, a couple things link to wikipedia
Chris: yeah is that bad
riseofthrawn: very, since we have to have it on a disk for that one thing
Chris: oh shit so how does he expect us to get any info if we cant copy any of it down
Chris: i didnt copy it word for word or anything
riseofthrawn: yeah but still
Chris: maybe a few words but its not like i copied and paste or anything
Chris: see i dont get how to write papers at all
Chris: i just go with it
Chris: and thats why i get D's
riseofthrawn: well i think the general ideas seem ok
riseofthrawn: organization and flow aren't spectacular
Chris: so what do i do about the wikipedia thing
Chris: yeah
Chris: like i said i suck at writing
riseofthrawn: you backspace over those parts and actually type it yourself
Chris: what
Chris: what parts
Chris: i did type it myself
riseofthrawn: well some words link to wiki
Chris: i basically paraphrased it
Chris: really hows that work
riseofthrawn: 3rd paragraph, "soldiers" "parachuting" "airborn force" and "WWII"
Chris: oh are u talkin about the underlined words and stuff
riseofthrawn: yes
Chris: oh i see what u mean the machine will track those words back to wiki
riseofthrawn: yeah since you know, it's an embedded link
Chris: yeah i didnt realize that
Chris: im the person he described as plagirising but didnt know it
riseofthrawn: haha
Chris: and i really dont either
Chris: i thought me typing it out would keep it from doin that
Chris: so how do i fix it
riseofthrawn: well i have no idea, since if you just typed it yourself, it wouldn't do that
Chris: yeah
Chris: thats what i thought
Chris: but how did u know it came from there
Chris: those words
riseofthrawn: just a sec and i'll show you
riseofthrawn:

Chris: how does it do that
Chris: maybe i copied and paste those words and didnt realize it
riseofthrawn: hahaha
Chris: ?
Chris: ?
Chris: let me retype those words and see if it changes
riseofthrawn: how can you accidentally copy/paste something
Chris: like i paste it and retype next to it and just filled it in with my own words but just fogot to delete it
riseofthrawn: ahahah
Chris: forgot
Chris: so how is it that is does that on urs
Chris: ive never seen that before
riseofthrawn: because you copied it in an email
Chris: oh
riseofthrawn: but put the mouse over one of them on word and it'll do the same thing, minus the thing at the bottom
Chris: oh i never realize that
Chris: look at that one
riseofthrawn: still does it on "WWII"
Chris: What man
Chris: ok that was the last oe
Chris: one
Chris: other than that what else
riseofthrawn: those are the only ones that i see
