It's interesting how words from your second language can infiltrate your core vocabulary in ways you don't anticipate. I just thought to myself that I now have a nice "stapel" of fountain pen friendly A6 notebooks to keep me busy. It just sounds more correct to me for books than "a pile" or "a stack".
Of course, I'd never deprive you of a chance to admire the stapel...
@blotosmetek not in everyday modern idiomatic usage. I’ve never heard a native speaker say they have “a staple” of objects
@0xabad1dea
So "staple" is not Dutch for "stable"? I can imagine someone saying "My stable of notebooks is well-filled"
Like the notebooks are fancy thoroughbreds?

@[email protected] My Italian wife is sometimes told she speaks very posh English because she naturally defaults to the words with Latin rather than Germanic roots - which is still a class ihdicator in the UK even if the Royals have been more German than French for quite a long time now.
@0xabad1dea the yellow one is BEAUTIFUL.
@Deinos it’s a Hobonichi, which is a little expensive for a small notebook because it has real Tomoe River paper, which is a fountain pen user’s dream. If you use wet inks, it’s very worth it
(Hobonichi’s main product is a day planner but they also sell plain grid books)
@0xabad1dea oh, that's why I liked, I see, because it's mad expensive 😁
yeah, I'm going back to fountain pens since a long time, that's why I focused on your pic... will check the notebook.
thanks!
@Deinos I got it for 15 euros from penstore.nl, if no one in .es stocks it, I believe they do EU-wide shipping

@0xabad1dea doesn't English "staple" have the same meaning (among many others)?
