Default papersize A4 might be a reason.
That is one. (The "PC (Print Cartridge) Load Letter" error message was common
here on HP printers, because you had A4 paper in the printer, but the PC
sending a print job to it was set to Letter due to a US locale. It actually
doesn't make sense that it occurs in the Office Space movie, unless that was
set in Canada or similar rather than the US. In short, I've known WTF "PC Load
Letter" means for a long time.)
Metric instead of imperial units of measurement.
I was taught in primary school that we use space as thousands separators rather
than a comma.
Having the incorrect spell check dictionaries is one of the most obvious
differences when using a US locale. 'colour' vs 'color',
'neighbour' vs
'neighbor', and all the 's' vs 'z's e.g. 'initialise' vs
'initialize'.
