Dear John,
The problem is with the students - who, even in these remote parts, are
latching on to the American paper mill economy.
Mind you, the worst case we had this summer was an essay which was
basically a straightforward transcript of the preface of a standard work on
the subject - but including several references to books the student
obviously hadn't read, in an attempt (unsuccessful, of course - in this
case) to throw your eagle-eyed marker off the scent.
