| Majority of teens have heard of it and 13% admit using it to
| cheat on homework, probably much more used it to cheat than
| admits to it and even more than that used it for any reason.
| Also note how the rate hoes up a lot in older kids, they
| probably have more homework so more pressed to cheat.

| I use it a lot on the desktop (paid account).

| I don't see a great mainstream moment.
