And paper sizes -- we use 8 1/2" x 11" (which has the ratio 1.294117647059),
whereas every other sane country uses A4 (approximately 210mm x 297mm) with
an exact ratio of sqrt(2). The DIN paper sizes fully rock because DIN An is
exactly half a sheet of DIN A[n+1], and you never have to distort or crop
when reducing something.
