Discount Notebook In "the Rookie"

[Conan the Grammarian]

I was watching Nathan Fillion's new show, The Rookie, recently and on his sergeant's desk was a discbound notebook of undetremined branding. I've noticed more people using disc bounds now that since Office Depot/Max and Staples have started carrying them. Just thought it was an interesting sighting.

Hmm. I'll have to look for that (I think we're a couple of episodes behind).

I really loathe autocorrect. I just noticed it changed the title from "Discbound Notebook in 'The Rookie'" to "Discount Notebook in 'the Rookie'"

 

Now, I have to find a way to edit my thread title. Arrrgh!

Yes, I have noticed over years of posting that once you put something in a title of a post you can not edit it ( Mr Grammer man notice also I do not use contractions because there is some software gremlin operating in the FPN which now does not allow the typing of contractions into posts, at least not from iPads which I have used on the FPN for more than 5 years).

Bottom up...

As for contractions? The iPad is probably sending out a "smart quote" (or typographic apostrophe) whereas the forum wants basic ASCII ' (single tick) " (double tick), not left/right curved marks.

Thanks for the insight Baron. I’m not sure I know how to choose the single tick mark but at least you’ve explained the problem. Thanks again.

Discbound notebooks use a small plastic disc to bind the pages - kind of like the rings in a three-ring binder. A "mushroom" is punched in the page to be inserted - using a dedicated punch. The small discs are less bulky than the rings in a three-ring binder. Office Depot/Max makes one in their Tul lineup. Staples makes one under the Arc marquee. And Levenger.com calls theirs Circa.

 

ETA: Levenger products, including Circa, can be found on Amazon.
