NOTATIO

I guess it depends from the context. If you're looking into an encyclopedia or phone book, of course it will be last+first name.
On a book's cover, it is first+last name.

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.

Is the first number indicating the width or the height? Please motivate your opinion with specific countries' conventions. You will ...

Alternatively, with an Adobe account and going to acrobat.adobe.com, you can combine files online. Alternative that a...

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...

Thank you for confirming.

Thanks all!
