? Letter and A4 are two different sizes from what I gathered. A sizes are the international standard :p

TiYlER · « **Reply #24401 on:** April 04, 2011, 07:18:54 PM »

Here in the US we use Letter (8.5" x 11"), Legal (8.5" x 14"), Executive (7.25" x 10.5"). the " is for inches. We also sometimes use the A sizes depending on what we are doing.

What on earth for? Unless you have an A3 printer its unusable surely? :S

yeah I rarely get to use it

but the school, printer is a beast. it takes A4 A3 B4 and C4 and there's always some C4 loaded. I dunno why but it looks more... in proportion

There are a lot of random paper sizes, like B5, B7, HV, Ofuku Hagaki, etc.

I'd have said our uni printers could as well, but we only ever have a4 or a3 loaded. Or rolls of a1 and a0 for the plotter.

Come to think of it. My a3 printer takes rolls. I should try and find one for it.

JoonasTo · « **Reply #24413 on:** April 04, 2011, 08:20:19 PM »

A, B, C and stuff belong to a system. They're not random.

Personally, I prefer Semtex or Peno, C4 is overrated.

flyawave · « **Reply #24414 on:** April 04, 2011, 08:21:58 PM »

^ semtex ftw

semtex = grouphug

The "A" sized papers are ISO standard, that's why Both European and Americian countries (and others that adopt the ISO standard) uses it. Legal/Letter on the other hand is ANSI (american national standards institute) so, mostly americans and most civilized and third world countries (who adapts more of american standards than the international standard) use it. Offices though, use A4 more 'cuz they want to use standards for universality. (note: I'm rushing here I'm already in uniform and I have to commute)

I just played the guitar till my fingers literally bled for the first time since High School. (Ok, it was just the index, but they are all sore.) Luckily, playing guitar is like riding a bike, unfortunately remembering old songs is not always the same.
My old band has been offered a few Saturday gigs at a local bar so I am trying to reorient myself.

I think it was just the Ernie Balls, those fuckers are rough.

The Flaming Waffles, mother fucker, best recognize!
Oh, and Gein is gonna be on site next week.

V Its General Chit Chat, bromide. Quite frankly, I don't know or care much about envelopes. V
