‘Rough’ copies aren’t supposed to be ‘rough’, literally. They are supposed to have rough works—scribble, doodles, math problems on them so that a polished work can come out in some other notebook. So why do all rough notebooks literally become ‘rough’ after a very short span of time after they are opened?
The answer to that is: How would I know? No, seriously, I have no idea who or what does that and I have to intention of trying to involve myself in things that do not concern me. Also, I don’t want to mess around with supernatural powers that can make me suffer with a flick of their wands, so let’s just pretend this never happened.
I have never liked rough copies though—they get ‘rough’ too fast, and after a week or two, are tattering, no matter how hard you try to keep them clean and tidy.
They also happen to be the most stolen notebooks. Unless you make world class notes, no one bothers with your usual notebooks because no one wants to be bothered by hundreds of pages of illegible handwriting for information that could otherwise be gained by asking the teacher or from Wikipedia. With rough notebooks, the story is different. Since all the notebooks are rough anyways, no one minds if you have a particularly bad notebook—as long as it has empty pages, it’s worth being stolen.
