Cheating has become more pervasive

<p>^agreed. I have taught freshman comp for decades, and I always tell students that having fresh eyes look over to doublecheck proofreading is a good idea. As a writer, I’d be nuts not to do that myself. My H and I often read over and comment on each others’ work. My S is an excellent proofreader, too. </p>

<p>At no professional level would I expect that someone wouldn’t benefit from having another look-over of a piece of writing. If a college specifically labels that as against their rules, then it would be wrong, but in a vaccuum, it’s not cheating and it’s not plagiarism.</p>
