Comments like that just make you look petty, infantile and quarrelsome. Do you really think that I don't know the difference between a statement and a question? (I've studied linguistics). This is an Internet forum, not a dissertation, (if you've ever composed one). Sometimes it is better to focus on substance, rather than form. I understand that a so-called "writer" that gets paid by the page for doing kids' homework and who is not acquainted with the subjects that he writes about would rather sit on forums picking fights over punctuation. How old are you, seriously?

Just because a paper has been harvested by an essay-writing company does not mean that it is sure to be detected/registered as plagiarized? The paper would have to have been turned in by a student ?

Thanks, everyone, for the helpful replies.

I did read the whole thread, as well as several others. But, partly because you did not address that particular plagiarism checker, I'm just clinging on to a hope that it is not an absolute certainty that my essay will be detected by my university's plagiarism software -- an essay that I worked hard on and that I foolishly put through that ******* plagiarism checker.

So, WB, thanks a lot for the comments. Although their content is negative and deconstructive, they are actually very helpful as deterrents. But some positive and constructive content would also be helpful; ie. what to do, as opposed to what not to do.

What do you and the other writers on here suppose that I do with my paper now? Should I just throw it in the trash, delete it? Should I start all over again? Is it an absolute certainty that my essay will be detected as plagiarized (even though it is 100 % my own, of course)?

PS. My paper is due in a month. Should I go to my lecturer and tell him that I used a plagiarism checker on a site that sells essays?

Also, I will go to my lecturer and tell him that I used a plagiarism checker on a site that sells essays, which is the truth. It's a really, really important paper. Wow, I don't feel great about this. I hope he understands.

Btw, does anyone have alternatives? Going to my lecturer seems like the best option, however I am open to suggestions.

On a completely different note, ESL writing seems to be a huge issue in your business. There is some funny stuff on this forum about Kenyan and Pakistani writers. I can only imagine how much excruciatingly bad ESL writing there is. But, as you will know, there are always exceptions to the general rule. I am one such exception. English is my 3rd language. In spite of that fact I am completely fluent. Yes, I ****ed up and yes I'm on a tight schedule and need help, but I am an outstanding writer with lots of substance. My lecturer actually suggested that I revise my last paper and submit it to an international peer-reviewed academic journal. ESL writing is usually garbage, though. So many retards around.

I labored over my paper for a long time. I'm very anxious. This is where I uploaded my paper. <customwritings/check-paper-for-plagiarism.html>.

What do you think of this plagiarism checker? Do you think my paper has been stolen? :(

PS: I need a research paper in comparative politics and one in political theory, both 6 pages. So if anyone on here has a degree in Political Science, give me a shout.

Thanks a lot for the reply. It was somewhat reassuring. However, I don't think I "can show the plagiarism report to [my] tutor with date, time, and summary" because I used the plagiarism checker as a visitor/guest, not a registered user, at <CustomWritings.com>. Or can I?

I hope I won't lose too much sleep over this tonight.
