is "notebook papers" right?
or should it be: notebook paper
i'm looking for the plural form
but i feel like notebook papers doesn't sound right
Notebook paper is something of a collective noun. To use "notebook papers" is not correct.
Put it into a sentence:
I carry notebook paper
vs
I carry notebook papers
I guess its kind of like deer:
There were 45 deer in the forest
vs
The deer was looking at my money. ( :D )
