"Letter" size, 8.5" x 11" is the norm here.  "Legal" is 8.5" x 14",  
and "B" is 11" x 17".  "Letter" is by far the most common, and  
conversion from A4 to letter size is generally handled automatically.

I only use "legal" size paper in the form of the yellow office  
tablets, and "B" size might be used when printing a large schematic.   
We had the capability for this size paper at work, but I'm not aware  
of many home printers that handle paper this large.

Interestingly, all our American printers and copiers are equipped to  
handle A4 paper, though it is generally unavailable here unless  
special ordered from an office supply.
