I've got a new random question people.

Someone please tell me why we had paper delivered that is a whole 6mm wider in width than standard A4, what is the point in even manufacturing paper that size? it's just stupid because it doesn't fit in the printers lol

America uses 216×279 mm, everyone else uses 210×297

A4 is A4, wherever you go (ISO 216 stipulates this) - The US merely have a different size of standard paper, known as Letter.

PP is of course, correct, SS ordered Letter, not A4, and should hang his head in shame.
