We're in the business of developing printers and MFPs
for outfits like Canon, Lexmark, Dell, KM, et. al.  We
have to keep all of the metric paper sizes in stock.  Next
to LTR, A4 is the most popular size around our office.
Our OEMs and ODMs in Asia do most of their testing
on A4.

Like I said -- A4 comes in real handy for printing any
image in a 2:3 aspect ratio.  Much better than LTR.
(LTR=Letter size=8.5x11")

A4 is "unknown" to most Americans because Americans
choose to be ignorant about the rest of the world.
