Jane, it IS possible but I would regard it as extremely suspicious.
There have been cases where a "macro" is loaded into the document which
makes all words look like English but read like gibberish to Turtnitin.
Turnitin has been altered to take these into account but is probably
still capable of being fooled. I would suggest a viva.
