A little fun from the FT. Apparently they don't care for American paper sizes in comparison to ISO 216 and I appreciate the poetry with which they express this. 😀

EDIT: A kind person has provided this link ft.com/content/bb9bf7c6-1785-4 although much of the other language employed smacks of desperation to claim credibility as a younger person and is quite cringeworthy in its use.

It blows our hivemind that the US doesn't use ISO 216 paper size (A4, A3 etc) Like we consider ourselves worldly people and are aware of America's idiosyncrasies like mass incarceration the widespread availability of assault weapons* and not being able to transfer money via your banking app, but come on! Look how great it is to be European (An image in the article titled the American mind cannot comprehend this diagram illustrates that A1 is half A0, A2 half A1 and so on down to teensy A8 1/16th of A4) Instead Americans prostrate themselves to bizarrely-named paper types of seemingly random size Letter, Legal and all other types of sordid nonsense. We're not even going to include a picture because this is a family-friendly finance blog. *presumably high magazine and rate of fire long arms.
