- ... that "Candidate for a Pullet Surprise" and "A Grandchild's Guide to Using Grandpa's Computer" are among the most-plagiarized English-language poems? Sources: Open Writing magazine "[Pullet Surprise] may have been read more often than any of Shakespeare's poems ... a favourite on the internet" ... "It's a classic example of intellectual property being stolen on the Internet" ... "[A Grandchild's Guide] recirculated under the title 'If Dr. Seuss were a Technical Writer', attributed to 'Anonymous.'" "Writing programs and teachers' groups around the world often quote the two poems to teach internet publishing ethics."
