Squared paper

I have been reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury in the last couple of days. The introductory quote is from the spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez:
If they give you ruled paper, write the other way

Oddly enough, in Germany schoolchildren are given squared paper to write on.

    Sorry to disappoint you, Phil, but German schoolpupils are given lined paper, see for example the 4-horizontal-lines examples on Wikipdia/Lineatur.
