Is "pares" an abbreviation for "paragraphs"?

Question

My assignment says to write "roughly five pares." My assumption is that it's just a typo and that it should say "pages," but for some reason I feel like I've seen that abbreviation used before... plus I'd rather right five paragraphs than five pages!

Answer 1

Have seen paras, but never pares.

Answer 2

Considering that PARES stands for paresthesias, that "R" is really close to "G" and the fact that you have an assignment I would stick to pages. If you are not sure just give a call to your teacher. There is nothing wrong with asking.

Answer 3

I'd go with the "pages" if I were you :-) Better to over-kill than to fail to do enough on an assignment, after all. Nice try, though ;-)

Answer 4

Pares is also a Latin word, as in 'inter pares' meaning 'among equals.' No help, was it...
