I've never understood the need to claim someone else's work as your own. Why? Is it so hard to say, "Hey, there's this great idea, and Person XYZ came up with it!"? You can still share the idea without claiming it as your own. Give credit where credit is due, people!
I agree, however this long way of citing and referencing is a pain. I do it, yes, but I don't have to like it. What I find frustrating about these referencing and citing is they always come up with some new way. What I learned in high school was a lot harder than the way I have to do it now, however 2 semesters ago I received a book all about how to cite and reference, and it showed you step by step. Now, that was 2 semesters ago, and they have already come out with a NEW way to do all of this. So, how do I know that I am now doing it correct? Couldn't they make it a little easier?
