agree  gianfranco: It can be used to wrap something after it has been read...
13 mins
  -> A multipurpose product indeed :o)
agree  Jacqueline van der Spek: perfect for wrapping fish and chips!
29 mins
  -> Thanks Jacqueline!
agree  Nikita Kobrin: I think after having mastered the art of newspaper reading Kate has to make one step beyond and try to start reading dictionaries...
1 hr
  -> That would be the next step... I hope she'll let us know as well ;o)
agree  verbis
1 hr
  -> Thanks!
neutral  ljilja: ok all of you, why don't you try to find bosnian dictionary?
6 hrs
neutral  DGK T-I: I think it's important to point out, to avoid misunderstandings, that frustrated comments date from when this question was a request for a trans.of Eng.'newspaper'into Eng. Obviously Bosnian is different,but that request wasn't made - & there was no clue
15 hrs
neutral  Sarah Ponting: To ljilja: you should read the answers before making such comments, then you'd understand why nobody consulted a Bosnian dictionary. I immediately changed the question from En monolingual to En>Bosnian when it emerged that a Bosnian translation was needed
22 hrs
disagree  simona1: Some of the translators here aren't at all professional.They seem to think they are very funny and this is the right place to show it.It doesn't really matter if the question was at first posted as English monolingual.

  -> Well, I tought this site was called ProZ, not AmateurZ ;o) And yes Simona, it DOES matter in which pair a question is posted... You should be glad too: making comments on 5 answers brings you 15 KudoZ anyway...

There are also weekly newspapers, but in the UK at least a newspaper is generally a daily publication.

Sorry, If you want it in Bosnian, I\'m afraid all the help I can offer is to change the language pair for you. Good luck!

agree  DGK T-I: and they used to be used in the UK to wrap up fish & chips, but not any more
5 mins
  -> Those were the days....they still leave your fingers black, though...particularly if you read them in the sun!
agree  asusisu (X): What about the Daily Sport??? Newspaper or.....
23 mins
  -> Sunday Sport... the 'classy' newspaper
agree  Nikita Kobrin: In the Soviet times when we experienced deficit of toilet paper, newspapers were of great use! And how convenient: while sitting in the loo you could spend your time very efficiently (e.g. to read an editorial on new achievements of Soviet economy)...
50 mins
  -> But were you rationed to a maximum number of sheets?!

__________________________________________________
(This answer was made after the askers explained above that they wished for a Bosnian translation of newspaper.

Before that the question was posted as a request for an Eng. explaination of the Eng. word, and any frustrated comment dates from then, and should be understood in that context.)

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  DGK T-I: that's very reasonable - some people(not you!) just use this when they could use a dictionary. I think your enquiry is perfectly sensible because Bosnian is a rarer language, and I'm sure people will help if they can :-)
6 mins
  -> Thanks :D
agree  Sarah Ponting: I'll change the language pair for you to English-Bosnian
10 mins
  -> Thank you
neutral  Nikita Kobrin: Tell Kate it's always worth reading FAQ. In addition to newspapers and dictionaries of cause :-)
12 mins
  -> okay..
agree  Marina Smith: You too dear Nikita should have spent more time reading the dictionary, instead of making fun of people and not being of much help. Maybe then you'd know that it's not 'of cause', but 'of course'. :-)

agree  DGK T-I: Dear Ewa & Marina -I'm pleased the search has had a happy ending, and as I said above, it "emerged" that M&K had a question suitable for Kudos because it involved translation into Bosnian.But the request was for a trans.into Eng.,and the FAQ point is fair
