University Student: "Well.. actually much of it is a COPAS work from your past dissertation."
A: "Dude! the number in this excel sheet doesn't add up! How come 100 and 30 became 500?"

Pronunced: Cop-paste-ian
A copastian error occurs when formulas are copied and pasted but pull from the wrong cells within a spreadsheet. They can also occur in programs like word processing programs or presentation software when few words are copied and pasted into an existing sentence creating a grammatically incorrect structure. Occasionally when things are copied and pasted on many pages, the pasted items end up on pages where they should not be. There are many copastian errors that occur and usually can be avoided with careful proof reading and editing.
