  > the rest of the world A4 is not a worldwide standard (even excepting NA) either, many countries have different. I wasn’t saying US Letter is a universal standard either, quite the opposite. My point to be very explicitly clear: there is no universal size of paper around the globe, so saying something isn’t “paper sized” is entirely irrelevant to anyone besides those who share your definition of the size of paper

      Read it again, it states over 100 sizes of paper. ;)

        Read it again, the article literally states: > the A and B series of ISO 216, which includes the commonly used A4 size, are the international standard used by almost every country. A and B series are specific size classes for specific use cases, that there are a number of sizes either historical or completely outside these use cases doesn't make them "not […] worldwide standards".
