Paper

 

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.
