8/11.5

Not sure if a joke or an actual paper size

Actually a size. More commonly referred to as "letter" sized. It's 8x11.5 inches, which is pretty close to A4, but it'll confuse printers if you mix the 2 up.

but it’ll confuse printers if you mix the 2 up.

So far all printers I've seen can switch between both. The real problem is your Writer/Word document, because after the slight reformatting it's now all over the place.

It's actually 8.5x11 not 8x11.5
