Did you know that in many foreign lands, paper is the wrong size? The papers they use in their so-called offices are straight-up the wrong size! How does any sort of business get conducted internationally?
And yes, I understand that the fact that Kuwaitis or whatnot like to add a little extra paper to their paper is not something to get irrationally bent out of shape about. There is more than a little hyperbole in my reaction. Still, it kind of confounds you for a second to hold a letter printed overseas up to a piece of "letter" sized paper from your own home country and notice it's just a little off.
Comments:
Not only that - they print the words on a book binding in the other direction.
