Exactly... I am 6 feet or 1.8 metres  either is just as accurate.

It is irrelevant as the whole world is metric apart from *some parts* of 
the USA.

To come back to the original questions on paper the whole world uses A4 
etc including the parts of the US that need to work internationally.

It is only time before the fits in with the rest of the world.

BTW I did hear that just after the US announced that it was building a 
Communist-Berlin style Iron Curtain wall between the US and Mexico the 
Canadians started surveying for a wall on their southern border too.
