I am very confident in the way I have presented my original piece of work, with its correct references.
Everyone on Steemit has an equal opportunity to present original work, and give referenced materials their appropriate acknowledgements. This is what we should all be striving to create.

As a former history student at university I am on Raven's side on this. It is well cited and in no way a "copy-paste-rewrite" like many posts on Steemit. When dealing with history (or any other science for that matter), there is very little "original" works except for the original sources of information (nicely cited in this post). As usual I enjoyed reading and look forward to the next one!

So very picky. Oh, of course, because he knew everything you had to say, so couldn't let it pass without trying one-up-man-ship. 😆 You must be very very good @ravenruis, now that know-it-alls are explaining where you're wrong 😉
All this kerfuffle over origin¿ they use the English language all, so they too are guilty of re-using someone else's turn of phrase. If the grammar is used correctly, there is usually only very few ways in which a thing can be said that will mean that which the writer wishes. To write any history without excerts from the time would just be a public-house-bar story, but with the stories as printed by editors of the day, it becomes a remembered history. Well done. Keep re-member-ing (putting member pieces together 😃) our past, well. Thank-you for some history of ancient out-cousins'.
Resteemed.

kerfuffle - hehe I do like that word but I don't hear it often enough these days. It is a shame when certain words are dropped from everyday language or worse - ousted rudely from the dictionary. This flummoxes me greatly.
:D

Grammar¿¿
Any of these uptight purists like to answer this quiz??
--Rewrite this in your own words, IF YOU CAN, in a simple concise sentence that says this to have the same meaning. ~ 'You are utterly charming, warm, radiant and dynamic.'
Well??
Some silly people who forget to actually look up what the dictionary meaning of -to think, is; ai, @ravenruis. Drongos all. 😂 😂
