We at PaperSpecs, always on the lookout for ways to fulfill the “public service” aspect of our brief, hereby present Matt Parker’s exhaustive (and we do mean exhaustive) explanation of paper sizes in the U.S. and Great Britain. (Feel free to skip to time code 4:25 for the best bit, where he goes into all of the overly specialized sizes of paper we Yanks take for granted. Bonus points for his explanation of junior legal size: “That’s what you use when you’re suing a child…”)
