< This may offend those in the tractor-feed strip industry >

How often do you refer to them (tractor-feed strips) that you need another
name besides "Tractor-feed strips" or "Those-strips-of-paper-with-
holes-in-them-along-the-edge-of-the-computer-paper" (I'm sure our
German-speaking friends call them something similar :-) )  I would guess that
any frequency of use encoding would suggest a long word...
