atikah,
- pls see CONNOTATION of Wiki definition below. from it one can deduce that \"quire\" is not only used to indicate exactly 1/20 or 24-25 sheets. a bunch of similar type and size paper is also referred to as a quire.
- from Wikipedia; search: paper, quire [BOLD mine, for emphasis]
* quire — a measure of paper. A quire is a set of 24 or 25 sheets of paper of the same size and quality. It might also be thought of as 1/20 of a ream. However, the CONNOTATION is A SMALL COLLECTION OF SHEETS OF PAPER of the SAME SIZE and the SAME QUALITY.
