Pronunciation of 'plagiarism'.
Hello there,
Right, I've heard the 'g' in 'plagiarism' pronounced either /d?/, as in 'genetic' or /g/, as in 'bagel'. From what I know, the origin of this word is Latin, hence it should be pronounced with /d?/ (as a rule-of-thumb, or summat) though I'm inclined to make the /g/ sound when speaking. What you lot think?
Ta!
tit for tat

/, as in 'genetic' or /g/, as in 'bagel'. / (as a rule-of-thumb, or summat) though I'm inclined to make the /g/ sound when speaking. [/nq] I've only ever heard it with the "g" as in "genetic", and can honestly say with hand on heart that I've never even once heard it with the "g" as in "bagel".

It has less perhaps to do with the origin of the word than with the rules of English spelling and pronunciation. "g" followed by "e", "i" or "y" is s

They may have been thinking of bagelism. That's the practice of buying bagels at a supermarket, and claiming you got them at a bakery. It used to be rife in some universities, until strict academic codes were established.
Because plagiarism is pronounced playjar
