Choir vs. Printing and Papermaking
In standard modern usage, "quire" is a unit used in printing and paper-making. "Quire' is an antique spelling for Choir (ecclestiastical), which was gradually replaced by choir in the 17th century, then revived by the 19th century Anglican high-church Ecclesiology movement, a somewhat self-conscious aspect of the Gothic.

Quiver
The Chambers, OED, Wiktionary, Merriam-Webster, and Online Etymology Dictionaries do not list quiver as a definition of quire. I will delete it unless someone provides good evidence. -kslays (talk • contribs) 04:22, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
