Maintaining a blog is not always easy. Sometimes it’s just too difficult to find the time to come up with new quality posts.
While I was out of town on business recently, some enterprising outfit apparently noticed the lack of activity at Arts & Ammo and offered to help. They offer “quality papers” for sale. I always thought such things were mostly aimed at the student market, and maybe that’s true, but I suddenly became the recipient of their email promotions. Something about the title of my last post “Lost Honor” must have triggered it.
What is a quality paper? Let’s look at an example. One of the first examples to come up on their website (always lead with the best) begins like this:
The hijackers of the flight united 93 did not prevent the pessengers from making calls. When the passanger came to know abput the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagone, the understand what actually was going on. They realised that if they will do nothing than they will also die. So the . . .
Yessir, that kind of writing will get you a solid B+ in many institutions of higher learning these days. What professor would notice the subtle variations in spelling and syntax? After all, anyone who buys that paper and passes it off as his own apparently doesn’t notice, so the professor is not likely to be suspect it isn’t the student’s original work.
Readers of this site are, of course, more discriminating. I’m sad to say I found nothing quite up to the editorial standards that prevail here and was forced to write this snide post all by myself. I would give you the link to the quality paper’s site, but that would give them a promo they don’t deserve. If my spam filters fail, maybe their comments will show up below.
Lost Honor, indeed.
