what is the meaning of "liquid paper"
I don't know. A plastic film in a solution, perhaps, like Tipp-Ex? (correction fluid?)
Thread Titles
The subject should be relevant to the topic or question.
Ideally the subject line should be able to summarize the question.
Using a relevant title will greatly increase the chances of an answer.
An example of a bad title is: "HELP ME!"
An example of a good title is: "window shopping?"
Using all caps and screaming for help will usually mean most people ignore you.
If you use a relevant title with relevant keywords more people will find your topic.
Do you understand this!

Bette Nesmith Graham used a kitchen blender to create liquid paper.
It was originally called "mistake out", the invention of Bette Nesmith Graham, a Dallas secretary and a single mother raising a son* on her own. Graham used her own kitchen blender to mix up her first batch of liquid paper or white out, a substance used to cover up mistakes made on paper.
I went to
www.google.com and typed "liquid paper" in the question box.
short answer....it's white liquid that comes in a little bottle that has a brush, like a bottle of nail polish.
you paint over mistakes you made on white paper with it.
It was more used when people used typewriters rather than computers.
and no remarks about coming in a bottle...... :wink:
While we're at it, Betty Nesmith Graham is the mother of Mike Nesmith of the Monkees (and later world music fame)...
This is an example of "Liquid Paper".
That's what I said, TippEx.

Folks over here probably have never heard of that.
I thought a photo of something is worth more than words to someone learning English.
