What is actually a pain is having to get stuck with somebody else's
paper size.  Worked in the USA for a company with the HQ in London.  The
USA is standardized on 8.5x11 will the HQ in London uses A4.  I think
one can imagine the amount of work it can take to reformat product
brochures so they can be downloaded and printed by USA based prospects.

The difference between color and colour is nothing compared to that.

I'll second that opinion. It wouldn't be so bad, except when I walk into Staples et all, looking for A4 size paper, they have absolutely no clue that the US seems to be the only user of the 8.5x11 format. And they cannot grok what difference it makes at all. Very very frustrating.

Try for Architectural A size. That's even worse to find than Legal size
to find. (It's 12 by 9.)
