If he was from Boston, it was probably letter, not A4

The wife probably found some paper in Scotland to write the sign

I know, what a silly reply that was! Like he would bring a sheaf of paper 8000 miles or whatever in case his wife wanted to write a sign!

Is that guy so fucking argumentative cos he's from Boston? 😂

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

An entire sheaf? How many signs do you think she wrote?

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Maybe 500. Or is there an imperial version for US size paper? 368.5?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

There's no imperial anything for the US, since they use US customary units. But it's probably a bushel.

Well don't hide your light under 365 sheets of paper then I dunno

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you actually are curious, they come in packs of 500 and we call that a reem of paper. They also come in boxes of 10 reems, and sometimes you can find a half a reem at the local shop but it's probably the same price as a reem.

No, we call it a "ream."

Sorry about your funny bone

Everyone knows bushels are for fruit!

I probably shouldn't upvote people just because they say the first thought that crossed my mind.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yes, you should.
