You didn't "paraphrase" anything, Hubby, you just tried to place your spin to an argument that was better stated and positioned than the nonsense you started the thread with.

Paraphrase (take your pick from the following definitions):

  • Restatement in your own words of a phrase or idea that you found in your research sources. When you paraphrase, be extra careful to footnote any ideas that you take from your sources.

  • To use the ideas or words of another person, but stating them in your own words.

  • To restate or reword something that has been said by another person in order to confirm your understanding of the information.
