fixed in accordance with Macmillan English Dictionary on chads. --Ybbor^T 02:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

with the US election and the florida controversy etc etc, would a hanging chad be a valid vote and a pregnant chad not? could somebody who knows please make it clearer, as it was a little ambiguous in the article. Saccerzd 16:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

If a chad is the small piece of paper that is punched out of a piece of paper or card, or plastic, or metal even and if a perforation is the hole that is made in film, what is the piece of film called that is punched out when making perforations? Anyone know?

Thanks

'Probably still called "chad". "Waste" or "scrap" might be other terms.

Chad are paper particles created when holes are made in a paper, card or similar synthetic materials, typically computer punched tape or punch cards. Note: the term 'Chads' is invalid, the plural of chad is chad. This contradicts Wiktionary, which states that chad is both a singular form and a mass noun, the plural form being "chads". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.24.189.88 (talk) 09:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
