Rest of the world: "Letter Paper": paper what is used for letters, nice high gsm stuff with a letterhead on it

USA: "Letter Paper", standard use paper for everything, in fact used mostly for things that are not letters

@noelle the error over here in the places that actually follow international standards is "PC LOAD A4"

Which makes a lot more sense

I mean, half the time you're not printing a letter, why would you use letter paper?

@Jo "Dark clothes only. To wash light clothing please purchase the "Light Clothes" DLC for $40"

@alice@elekk.xyz ...okay, obviously I live in a small house/have a really noisy washing machine because I just realise "oh, I haven't heard the machine going for a little while" and it's done

I have no idea why anyone would want an IoT washing machine

@Vann@glitch.social :samaww: : pixel art games about being friends with robots

@squirrel "I am best at space. In my little space quarters on my space ship. SPAAAAACCCEEEE"

@squirrel yeah but in the new improved voice we can have a direct comparison! Or something!

@arielmt I know how to use one of them for multiplication and division but doing trig on them might as well be magic

Actually trig in general might as well be magic to me, was never good at that

I looked to see if anyone still made slide rules

To the person writing product names on aliexpress; no, a vernier caliper is not a slide rule but I see where you're coming from on that translation

@squirrel y'know what I think you may have mentioned something like that before
