Yep! The whole world uses this system, yet it remains a mystery to most Americans. Most have never even heard of it. When I first moved to Asia 25 years ago, I brought some high quality stationary with me from the US. But when I tried to fit a letter into a locally bought envelope, it was too wide! I couldn't understand what was wrong! All the university handouts came on B4 size paper and wouldn't fit into the document folder I had. I needed to buy a Japanese one so I could keep everything together!
