Small world. I just had a ridiculously long discussion with two teachers, one an elementary school teacher & one who teaches middle school.
The elementary school teacher says that she and everyone she knows ONLY calls these "brads". The middle school teacher says he had never heard of "brads" and called them something else, not "paper fasteners" and not "paper studs" either.
