Hello!
I'd like you to tell me if you currently use "copy-book" with the meaning "book with blank pages on which you write notes".
In our Romanian-English dictionaries, you will find both "copybook" and "notebook" defined as such.
As a student, loooong time ago , I used my copybook to take notes in the classroom.
Some textbooks still use the word, although OUP, Longman, Macmillan, etc. dictionaries no longer list the word as defined above.
A BIG thank you,
simplythebest

Re: copy-book vs notebook
You write notes in a notebook.
I actually never heard the term copybook but just checked my dictionary and it says:
copybook (noun): a book containing models of handwriting for learners to imitate
