Naturally, we see the same stupid thing the other way around...

Isn't these sized called Yankee-Doodle-Dandy?

No. Just to anoy the hell out of the non-standard Americans we stick to ISO
only. Don't object too hard or we have to have a truckload of BBDs in here
too...

PS. Those who hasn't got it... I'm objecting since I can object and not since
I have such a strong objection to say American stuff. However, the serious
underlining is that too many things that pop out of that continent is plauged
with problems and causes much grief (and I am not taking politics here,
honest!) so it is not without some delight I push these buttons.

Cheers,
