Catching up ...

Earlier today, Dave Lull sent me this link to the Language Log: Is Mark Steyn guilty of plagiarism?

I enjoy Mark Steyn a lot. But his assistant's assertion - "Steyn did nothing wrong" - bothers me. Not legally. At least according to the letter of the law. But there is also the spirit of the law. I don't know why people have this problem with attribution. I love citing my sources. As many as I can. It makes me look like I've really done my homework.

Dave also sends along this: Cutting in line: what would Of Nazareth do?
