Definitely wrong. We call it a piece of paper. What do you think England is? A time warp to the 1700s?
Well, you guys have a longer history than us. I always thought that you kept the classic form of "paper" because, well, your country was founded on classics. Kind of how you guys still say "knickers" to this day. The only time we here in America say that word is to make fun of you guys. *wink*

Now that is sad. I've lived in Germany. They are way better technologically than some american parts. Hell, you guys gave us the BMW. My father specifically bought one in the country and had it shipped to the US.
Living in Germany was a lot of fun. You guys have some great food and archetecture. And cars.
