It has been 15 years, but my wife took a few sentences that I typed from the top of my head on a technology subject, completely original sentences and the plagiarism detector flagged those sentences alone as not fitting into the rest of her document. I believe the system compiles the wording a person uses on average and the tone and sentence structure was different enough that they were flagged. She wasn’t penalized since there was no plagiarism.
