I was reading a couple of threads on plagiarizing here, and some people were saying that if you take a sentence from another person that is plagiarism. If that is the case then almost everyone plagiarizes.
Example.
I write have this sentence in my book.
“She could not understand what was happening to her”
When I googled it, a bunch of other books have the exact phrase. So am I plagiarizing them? Will people who use that exact sentence be plagiarizing me if they write that after I publish my book?
