I think English majors are taught proper usage, but there was a story that came out just prior to this that claimed that other students are not taught proper citation and usage in these days of online research.
At any rate, the three phrases she used would have been considered "common usage" by my school. There were no words that were groundbreaking research in any way.
The difference would be, "Poppinjay, born in 1922, and a user of laudnum at theatrical events says there were no words that were groundbreaking research in any way" would be plagarism. The prior would not. In other words, there's parsing and there's plagarism.
