Someone stole my ideas: What I learnt from being plagiarized

Could it be some crazy coincidence? I mean after all, we are shaped by the things we see, read and experience. After all, crazier things have happened. But it was not a coincidence. What made the plagiarism abundantly clear was the perpetrator's lack of command of the English language. In trying to put my article into his own words, he made a couple of telling errors. Most noticeably, he tried to reuse a phrase that I had coined in my article, but had misinterpreted its intent and meaning entirely.
