Yeah, me too. I had a student turn in a paper last semester that I'm pretty sure came from one of those mills, but I couldn't peg it as plagiarism for sure, just a highly derivative essay cribbed from a bunch of random sources (yes, I did track down most of the sources so I could verify just *how* derivative it was) and not entirely written to the prompt. IN the end I gave him the benefit of the doubt and gave it a C.
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Kat!!
he's just a twelve year old boy and I have to practically nail him down to take a picture where he's not making a face.

Happy birthday Kat! Hope you have a most excellent one!
Happy birthday, Kat! Are the kids taking you out? There better be cake.
Happy Birthday, Kat!!! I hope you have a great day.
Happy Birthday, Kat!
And yeah, Hec-- I've noticed that those are great times to catch them. *g* That's a great picture-- teeth and everything!
