I always thought this was a funny scene, because if you know what the parts of a printer are called, it’s obvious what “PC Load Letter” means. So Michael is obviously just bad at his job.

Load letter sized paper into the paper cassette, in case you didn’t know.

In the US, they don't use A4, they use "letter", which is slightly wider, and "legal", which is slightly longer.

We need the widest and longest of papers to contain our drawings of gnomes.

Wait, so printers from the rest of the word wouldn't work properly in America with American paper? (Assuming they don't have an adjustable paper tray or something)

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever seen a printer that doesn't have some sort of adjustable tray.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've seen plenty of home/personal printers that can only take A4

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Weird, all the ones I've seen could at least switch between A4 and US sizes.

Freedom paper! 8.5"x11". There's also legal for when you're in trouble or spending a ton of money: 8.5"x14".

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Standard paper size for printers.

Whatever the comparable size is, yeah.

Which country do you think Office Space, a 1999 American satirical black comedy film, takes place in?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The fictional land of Amexicanada?

Now I'm picturing the movie opening up with a title card that says "Paris" for the Italian dubbed version. Every international version says it takes place somewhere else

Probably not the same one that the person replied to lives in
