As a European living in North America I developed a weird cognitive dissonance. When I'm in North America the regular printer page (US Letter) seems too squat. When I'm in Europe the A4 page looks too svelte. I now need an in-between format for it to look "right".

Off-topic but as a non-native English speaker, TIL what svelte means lol. I often get exposure of new words first from a product name. Same happened with Chrome.
