Another reason the US is stupid: paper weights. Sane: GSM (grams per square meter) – A metric unit measuring the weight [mass] of a 1m² sheet. Insane: LBS (pounds) – Common in the U.S., it represents the weight of 500 sheets of paper in its base size, which _differs depending on the type_ (bond, text, cover, etc.). https://www.paperpapers.com/news/paper-weight-guide-gsm-vs-lbs/
