if that is not the case.

COVID-19 Non-PRO English Science Journalism
One of the biggest sins you can commit while writing online materials is plagiarizing, which is the omission of reference to the original source of information, which gives the impression that it is the writer of the material at hand who originally said a statement even if that is not the case.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Tony M, Yvonne Gallagher, Christopher Schröder

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

when you did not.

This is clumsily written. It could be more clearly expressed as follows:

"This gives the impression that you wrote the text [or made the statement] when you did not."

agree Robert Forstag : This seems like a simple and concise paraphrase that ought to be crystal clear to a non-native English speaker with, at minimum, an intermediate command of the language.
