There was a University girl up North (Harvard??) that wrote a book and it was highly sought after and praised by critics until somebody noted that a sentence she used in it was a bastardization of a sentence from another work. In her version, she switched the word order in a list around, and added one of her own words. This was enough to get her dropped from her publisher, expelled from the university and all that followed.
