So, other than the USA and Canada, who DOES use the
format that we call "Letter-size" (8.5 x 11 inches)?
Mexico? Central and South America? Anyone in Africa?
Any Asian countries?
Assuming that it's not all happening on a sound-stage
somewhere, it would appear that NASA's english/metric
problems have been resolved, so is it A4 or letter-size
being used on Mars when the rovers type out their TPS reports?
