The paper in Botswana is longer

Longer!  Yes, the standard copy paper size here is about an inch longer than in the U.S.  Funny.  Does that mean the copiers are all a bit different also?  I can say that making double sided copies of my permit, printed on U.S. 8.5 x 11 inch paper, did not work out well – with the words being all shifted to the right side of the paper.  Had to do it again!
