Okay. There's a distinction here. Scratch paper is paper for working out
sums or writing rough drafts. Whole pieces of paper; paper that is not
quality paper; recycled, newsprint paper, paper already used on one side, etc.
Deliberately chosen to scratch on. Scrap paper is the odd scrap, not an
entire
8 1/2 x 11, sometimes a tiny triangle torn off of an envelope, piece of
something you can scribble a phone number, etc., on. It can be the back of a
dry-cleaning ticket, a bit of grocery receipt, anything. Any more semantic
hairs you wanna split?
