In the pre-computer world when I was in grade school, paper had its own meaning.
Newspaper quality paper was for math. Yuck.
When he had to write something, we did the draft on yellow-lined paper. The teacher would sometimes make suggestions, correct spelling, etc.
The final draft was always on the higher quality white-lined paper.
Eventually, for important projects like term papers we typed the final drafts on regular stationary. Leaving room for footnotes was always a pain. Today, with word processing, it's easy. Also changing words, sentences, paragraphs, catching typos no longer makes our stress levels rise.
Viva la progress.



Oooh, but paper is still so beautiful, filled with so many possibilities!
