As a bit of explanation, I have a friend who got a list of supplies from her kids' new school that listed "notebook", intending a 3-ring binder, and when she bought the wrong thing they made a point of blaming it on her being ESL and declaring that everyone here (US) calls them notebooks. I was feeling rather offended on her behalf, and was trying to get a few quick stats to see if it was a legit regional thing versus pure boneheadedness on the part of the school.
