So what's up with the extra "K" you're asking? True, the correct spelling of paper knapkin is actually paper napkin, but there's a reason for the special K.

In Middle English, the word "knap" had several definitions, but the noun form meant the top or summit of a hill:

Crafting a creative idea, or even a thought, can be likened to trying to crest a hill or mountain; some uphill battles, some twists and turns, but the payoff is well worth it.

And many times, that journey can begin on a simple piece of scrap, or even a paper knapkin. So, dive into the melting pot and have a taste, but don't forget to wipe your mouth...
