... why standard US (as opposed to the rest of the world) paper width is 8.5 inches. Mainly because nobody knows, and you certainly aren't nobody.

The best theory indicates that the adoption of the standard probably predates you, old as you may be. But Reagan's administration made it official for all government use.

Hey, who knew Reagan actually did something useful (if still backwards by world standards)?

Don't let my name fool you. That's my job.
