“Europe’s Full Circle,” Rodney Atkinson
“Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler

Any of the above correct?

It’s a shame that you don’t know the meaning of plagiarizes. But, considering you can’t even spell it that’s no surprise. :lol:
I did not write the article, nor did I claim to. Hence why it was in quotes, as I quoted it.
Here’s a website for you:
http://www.dictionary.comIt’s free to use, so do please feel free to look up words you don’t know the meaning of before using them :)
Thank you so much Tom for your grammer lesson.Little links to despot sites just ain’t my bag.BTW Tom,I can barely see my screen.Sight and hindsight are two glorious things taken too much for granted these days.You are a w@@@@r Tom.I think you know you are a w@@@@r too Tom.That is half the battle over mein Thomas.Onwards and upwards…..
Just one more thing Tom,before I go off on my global watching paint dry tour.Ever held a woman or a baby child and thought”Christ……I would die for these people….”?I do it every day.Human nature Tom.

It’s ‘plagiarises’ actually.
I had no need for a dictionary either! However, if I WERE to look for an online one, I would be sure to choose one with English rather than American spellings :wink:
I wouldn’t normally have passed comment … but the irony made me giggle.

Well if you want to get pedantic, it’s actually plagiarizes. Ise is Normanized spelling, Ize has always been correct English spelling. However, it IS always Ism (never Izm). Ism is correct English, Izm is American English exclusively.
You’re forgiven for your elementary mistake, the majority of people get confused between English/American English when it comes to the whole Ise/Ize/Ism/Izm thing.
But it’s quite simple.
Ize/Ise = British English (Pre-Norman, Post-Norman)
Ism = British English
Izm = American English
So for example, in England. Realize would be correct. Realise, would also be correct. Realism would be correct, realizm, however, would be incorrect.
The Americans do also use the correct English spelling of Ize, but you are right in modern Britain both the correct English of Ize and the Normanized English of Ise are academically acceptable.
As a staunch Eurosceptic and considering I can’t stand the French, I prefer to use the standardized pre-Norman traditional English syntax.
Again, Sue, please feel free to visit the free dictionary site here: http://www.dictionary.com and look up the word irony.
Will people please stop using words they don’t know the meaning of? It’s awfully tiring.
Dan, pray do tell which website you believe this piece was from. There is no battle, young man. It’s the internet – calm down.
Iz irony something made of iron?
Yez, Zadnezz, it iz!
