The US doesn't use any sane method of measurement. So why would they use it for paper?

Two sheets of a5 are one sheet of a4. Two sheets of a4 are one sheet of a3. The ratio of the sheet stays the same. Easy, beautiful.

It's a pain in the ass, but we don't really have many traditions to cling to. We don't have royal weddings, ancient languages, or castles.
