Grammar
doodles and grafiti
Benny likes to draw; I saw many doodles in his textbooks.
Does "doodles" in the above amount to "grafiti?" If not, what are the differences? Thanks.

Hi Angliholic
Doodles are small and generally done on paper or in a book of your own. Usually a pen or a pencil is used.
Graffiti is usually big and done (generally unauthorized) on surfaces of public areas (walls, bridges, signs, etc.) As far as I know, graffiti is usually done with paint.
Grammaticaly speaking, the word "doodles" is the countable plural of the word

I agree with everyone else.
I think though, that each word carries a different severity.
For example, if I said my daughter doodled on the wall, we get the sense that it was not as extreme as if we said she wrote graffiti on the wall. Although size and what wall comes into it, I don't think it would necessarily be restricted to those things. The same would be true for doodling
