It's more UK focussed, and it is *expensive* if you don't have a student or work account. But I have subscribed for ten years, as it's really good on depth and on finance news.
This breaks the use case of having a PDF representing a 1:1 world map. Clearly Adobe (who I think designed PDF?) were shortsighted and should have allocated a few more bits.
Half of Germany is 174611500000 sq metres.
Assuming the paper continues to double in size below A0...
I got a C at GCSE maths (I know) but I think it would be n = log₂(x). If I solve with log₂(x) = ln(x) / ln(2) I think that be, give or take, A-37 sized paper?
Not entirely unambiguous, because sometimes you don't know whether the month and day are 'American'. eg is 2024-05-12 meant to be 12 May, or 5 December?
(To be clear, I use YYYY-MM-DD myself when creating filenames, because as you say it sorts correctly.)
Fahrenheit is a greater offence in my view, but at least both in scientific and engineering context they are centimetring towards the correct units of measurements.
Before coming here I thought the same about farenheit but now I’m a convert. It makes so much more sense on a human scale. Why should we relate our temperatures to the boiling of water? 0-100F is approximately the min-max of general human experience.

BTW, the entire concept of Hungarian supremacy should be based not on the language from Sirius, or all the Nobel prize winners that had to escape the country first to become Nobel prize winners, or other similar bs, but on the world beating sweets and the Ultimate Date Format.
Umm, the US Military uses the DD/MM/YY format, as well as the metric system for most measurements. Also, the gregorian calendar is not the only one used by humans.
Yes, humans can be wrong in more than one way, thanks for proving my point.
We as a species should compromise on the exact set of standards that I happen to already be familiar and comfortable with.
