[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago* (1 child) A4 is superior too. (Yes US doesn't use A4 paper.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ytg@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago The superiority of ISO paper sizes isn't obvious at all if you don't know how US paper is different. Seems like different countries just use different sizes. But as anyone accustomed to using A- or B-series papers knows, A4 is made of exactly 2 A5s, and the pattern holds up to A10 and down to A0, whereas the US paper sizes are completely unrelated to each other. So good! permalink fedilink source parent
