The paper size showdown that nobody asked for but everyone needed! While Americans are busy measuring documents in "letter," "legal," and whatever random dimensions their printers accept, the rest of the world enjoys the elegant simplicity of the ISO 216 standard. Just fold an A0 in half? Boom—A1. Fold again? A2. It's almost like they designed it with—gasp—mathematical logic. Meanwhile, Americans are over here with paper sizes that make about as much sense as measuring distance in "football fields" or weight in "washing machines." The metric system sends its condolences.
