I live it when Turnitin melts, but the student is adamant it's their work as they typed every word of it. Yes they did as they had 2 windows open, website and Word and therefore they didn't copy and paste.

Back in the day it was the polite way of talking and demonstrated the difference between the classes. The "posh" people did not (in speech' put themselves forward, and did not use "I". However, it has been so parodied and is now anachronistic, unless "one is" royalty.??
