I'm in my 70s. Yes, US Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches and US Legal is 8.5 x 14 inches. The much more sensible A-series system (used everywhere except the US and Canada AFAIK) has an A4 page that is 210 x 297 mm or about 8.25 x 11.75 inches. Good writeup on the A series at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#A_series Regards, Dianne.
