I glazed over when Gene started to talk about 28 lbs of paper. 28 lbs is 2 stone. I couldn't carry 28 lbs of paper. I buy paper by the 500 sheets!! And you don't need to know what the numbers (80 gsm etc) actually mean, though I do. 100 is when you really want something to look nice. 120 is thin card, 90 is what I used on all documents leaving the house for some years (because I was in business) and I now use 80 because I am skinflint in my old age. 70, the once I ever bought it some years ago, caused my printer to jam up.
