> A4 vs US letter
I (European) spent some time in the US in the past and, while I understand why many people prefer A4, I found one major advantage of the US letter format: It is, like so many things in America, bigger.
Very useful if you have to write down equations!
- Beltalowda 4y agoIt's slightly wider (6mm) but shorter (18mm), not really "bigger". In terms of surface area it's a bit smaller.
- athenot 4y agoIt's only 6mm wider than A4, but 18mm shorter (about 3/4 inch) A4 210mm x 297mm Letter 216mm x 279mm
- codethief 4y agoYou're absolutely right, it is shorter – for some reason my memories just skipped that part. Maybe because the width is the most relevant when writing down long equations. :)
