    The A series is better because it divides easily into smaller sizes, shows more on phones, and portrait monitors.

      I like my A sheets, but no paper format is good on screen, it’s a whole different medium.

    The Americans haven’t been alright since pirates captured the reference kilogram on its way to the newly independent USA from France, and they sour-grapesed themselves into making wilful archaisms part of their identity.

    I would like to change to A4 paper, but in Canada? Good luck even finding it. Staples carries 1 SKU and at $28 for 500 seets it’s 4x the price of other paper.

    A series is just so practical and simple. Cut a A0 sheet in 2 at the center of the long edge, you get 2x A1, repeat you get 4x A2, etc. This also simplifies production.
