Submission Alerts: Word Usage Pattern Irregularity
I am writing to seek guidance regarding a warning that appeared in my recent Similarity Report:
"Word Usage Pattern Irregularity: This assignment may have used formatting techniques to avoid matching against our database."
I would like to understand how to resolve this issue to ensure my submissions are compliant with Turnitin’s guidelines. Could you all kindly advise:
- Specific formatting practices that might trigger this warning?
- Recommended steps to reformat my document (e.g., font, spacing, or text encoding) to prevent this alert in the future?
- Whether this warning affects the accuracy of the Similarity Score.
Thank you
