So you are saying that when I say:
To be or not to be I must acknowledge Shakespeare
Let sleeping dog's lie - Proverbia Vulgalia et Latina
My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me - Jesus
Sht happens - The Predator ?

Or can we agree that the phrase I wrote is so commonly used that I really didn't have to acknowledge no one?

Potato is one of the words that although is similar to Greek Patata it's actually not Greek as they where found, if I am not mistaken on the early Columbus travels?
But, but, we overused them so much here. Baked fried streamed on Greek Musaka on Greek Pita and all kind of salads ...Mmmmm....

I suppose the writing skills they teach vary around the world. It is common practice in this country to acknowledge other's work when it is lifted word for word. It is called plagiarism and is frowned upon. You wouldn't want people to think you made that up on your own.

What you might think of as a common phrase or quote doesn't necessarily mean it is well known. Especially outside of one's country.
