hi member,
it's so easy to remember something and subconsciously use it, often it's as Leanne says 'a cliche', some phrase thats's crept into the common language. "i love you wit all my heart" being a particularly well used one.
usually with plagiarism, the phrase that's been lifted is too unique to be cliche. before saying it's plagiarism we'd google the phrase, if it showed up in a song and a poem or two then the odds are it's just a phrase that stuck in someone's head and a possible cliche. jmo
