Re: Page size order conventions
paper size isn't math. This looks a lot like math to me! Geometrically, a sheet of paper is a rectangle, unless I'm missing something in your statement. I like your reflection on Westerners associating this coordinate system to what we write a lot. What about cultures (like Japanese) that read vert...

Re: Page size order conventions
there's no "rule", there's no need for it. Interesting. So, lacking specification, if you see 9x12, what do you think? In Italy, there is a convention I discovered today (!) among the library system that states that the first number is the height and the second number is the width. That i...

Re: Page size order conventions

Re: Alternative to CutePDF - for macOS
I've not been able to find a definite answer on their website, but have you tried Acrobat Reader, the free version? It has plenty of features already, and Combine may be one of them. Alternatively, with an Adobe account and going to acrobat.adobe.com, you can combine files online. Alternative that a...

Re: Lyrics in foreign language: italics of not?
As a BTW addendum, in Scottish, English and Irish poetry &c, ‘adieu’ has usually been pronounced rather differently from the French word, although generations younger than mine (I'm 83) seem inclined to pronounce it as if French, even when they are speaking English. I wonder how it is pronounce...
