00 I sometimes get confused on the use of these two phrases, "in the paper" and "on the paper"? 02 br
02 br
00 A context to be proposed will be as such: 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 Do like what's on the paper. 02 i 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 Do like what's in the paper. 02 i 02 br
02 br
00 The above sentences might not give you much to work with but maybe enough to give you some ideas as to what my line of inquiry might be. Thank you. 0-
