A third person suggested that our students should not be asked to write,

We may or may not be moving away from “intellectual papers,” but some
administrators would like to abolish paper.
Well, as Geary mathematically notes:
i. One paper, when printed, consists of more than one paper.
Should we, by the same token, multiply the senses of 'paper' (and a fortioti
papyr)?
No way, when there's one word that just do the trick:
ii. I asked my tuttee to submit an essay, not toilet paper.
