So, I don't know if any of you have ever had teachers use the site Turnitin.com as a way to submit papers, but I am gonna rant about it so here goes.

Basically, the site is used to check for plagiarism. It looks at your paper and compares it to other student papers that have been submitted, and even looks on the internet, to see if you copy pastad.

The problem is that it literally looks over EVERYTHING. For example, I just checked an old paper I turned in and it said I had 4% overlap on my paper. I paniced a little and clicked on it to see what was a match; turns out the portion highlighted as plagiarism was my MLA style heading, title, formatting, and then the question I was answering .-.

That's not the first time it has randomly done this though.... I've had it highlight quotes (which I had cited) and titles and author names... It's a lil rediculous...

Doods. I'm just tired and needed to rant xD Thanks to anyone who actually read it.
Nini all~ Toodles~
