Size in metric

Just looking at the sizes stated, given that 1 inch = 25.4 mm, wouldn't the following be more accurate (to the nearest millimetre)? 8½ × 13½ inches (216 × 342 mm) -> 216 × 343 mm 17 x 13½ inches (432 × 342 mm) -> 432 × 343 mm Given 25.4 mm/inch × 13.5 inches = 342.9 mm (which rounds to 343 mm, not 342 mm) I'll change it and let you pick over all 0.1 mm of it :) Mattabat 07:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More widespread use in USA

Can someone expand on the assertion: "Recently it has met more widespread use in some circles in the United States". Which circles? When? --Theo (Talk) 00:28, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

ring binders

Should we mention that it is a common size for ring binders/lever arch files containing A4 paper, because it offers greater protection to the edge of the pages than an A4 binder? Thryduulf 08:29, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Yes, we should, so I have! Be bold in updating pages --Theo (Talk) 10:37, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
How is it better? That is in no way clear...Empaler 02:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uh...

There has been some confusion somewhere. The paper size that we Brazilians variously name "Folio" or "Oficio II" is 8 1/2 x 13 inches, not 8 1/2 x 13 1/2. Luis Dantas 22:54, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Blue Book

There should be a refence to "Blue Books" that many students use on tests that are made from these sheets.
