What happens in school stays in school, the real world doesn't care how many footnotes you have.
- ghaff 4y agoThey actually do in many contexts. I assure you my company's lawyers want to know the source of any numbers or specific claims. And, while you may not necessarily footnote (though in books you often footnote/endnote), editors want support for various statements as well. And, yes, if I literally copy something someone else writes or the substance of it without giving credit and they find out and complain to my company--I'm getting fired if it's blatant (as I should be).
