Not the case in the UK, I suspect, which is where I live - most people will be familiar with A3/A4/A5. They've been the standard for the past 50-odd years, and penetration of non-ISO paper sizes is approximately 0%.
Until I followed the link, I didn't know 11x17 wasn't just a particular type of printer. And once I found out it was a paper size, I wondered how large it was, since I don't have a good feel for anything in inches once you get past the 12 that fit on a standard 30cm ruler. Which is why I posted :)

A4 is for letters and documents, so it's everywhere, people know A5 from their exercise books at school, and will have used A3 for something at school, perhaps art or technical drawing. Beyond that, flipcharts are A1, and postcards are A6, although i suspect most people don't realise that. You don't see A2 much. I once came across a giant A0 flipchart pad, and immediately attempted to make a paper aeroplane from it. However, it's too thin relative to its size, so the plane collapsed.
