Dear Santosh Gilbert is right. He is referring to "play-ger-rise" and you are referring to plagiarism. I suspect the vast majority on this forum understand and agree with you, Jose, and Basilio's definition of plagiarism which was previously provided. I hope any Goan student or academic in the USA follows your definition of plagiarism to avoid getting in serious trouble. Perhaps the same rules apply in most other places too. Gilbert is referring to an entirely different concept (playgerism) whose spelling he mangled. As Gilbert has correctly clarified, playgerism occurs when a medical student stands in front of a football audience with a cricket ball and suggests he is a well-known author. When he repeats himself, this is called self-playgerism. So now you know the truth. Regards, George
