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? ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 0 points 2 years ago

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

[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

Yes, you should.
