A Folder is a Folder is a Folder?

Lord Yo | Mar 11 2007

GTD writes a lot about using folders; I'm German-speaking, and "folder" can mean so many things - a big, sturdy file folder in which you file hole-punched papers; lighter, single folders in which you can store paper without hole-punches ; or just transparent plastic folders for a couple of sheets.

For a project or reference system, the second option sounded best to me - what do you think/use?
