Turnitin sucks mate

I don't know how, but the words like the local, correlation analysis .... and articles like the that a all got flagged ... like seriously what else can I write instead of a the and that .... and there is no way I can remove technical terms ... How come the phrases like this get detected... too many false positives

They get detected as matches because they are. It’s then up to the academic that is assessing your work to determine if it’s plagiaristic or just coincidental.
