Haraphrasing

Branching from the process of 'Paraphrasing', whereby a passage of text is restated in other words, Haraphrasing involves making audacious claims that you have paraphrased when in fact you have just replicated the statement with the minutest of changes.
‘it is hard to find a system....that works for everybody, because everybody’s issues are different, everybody’s focus is different’.

"It is hard to find a system like the GRI that can work for everyone, because everybody’s issues are different, everybody’s focus is different. How do you find something that works for everyone?" becomes
