Spelling aid: plagiarism

There are all sorts of spelling rhymes and memory cues for hard-to-spell words.

Can anyone think of one for plagiarism? It's a word we use a lot in the Epinions community (sadly). It's also one that is spelled wrong at least half the times it is used. So, can anyone think of an easy way to remember how it is spelled? I usually have to look it up or run it through a spell-checker, but it would be nice to learn it without having to look it up.

Oops. That's what I get for trying to play with bold tags before I have my first cup of coffee. I tronspase letters easily.

We've all done it, Sara. I read my own tiny post over about a bazillion times to make sure I didn't have a typo of my own. Nothing more embarrassing than making a spelling mistake when you're obnoxiously correcting someone else.

Grace - I just love your mnemonic! It's brilliant!

Dear Grace,

Yes, it's a good one. I think I'll steal it.

Best wishes,
Peter
