"He works from home and companies send him adds by fax etcetera."
Does he work in the 1980's as well? Can you even buy a fax machine anymore? |

People still fax. I'm standing right beside a fax machine. Well, it's a copier, scanner, fax machine, tooth-brush and goodness knows what else. I think we had a fax this year. Maybe even two.

I guess I am the only one confused by the use of the word "pie" to denote pizza!
I remember the first time I ran into that was in college. My roomie and I were there the first day freshman year. He was from the East Coast and wanted to know if I wanted to split a "pie". Couple of problems. First I don't like pie, as in dessert pastry filled with fruit, and I had no idea "pie" could mean pizza! I was thinking wow this dude must really like pie.

The point of using fax is a matter of security and law it seems:
Some services offer secure faxing to comply with stringent HIPAA and Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act requirements to keep medical information and financial information private and secure. Utilizing a fax service provider does not require paper, a dedicated fax line, or consumable resources.

In my view it is an unfair trade practice to simply use the term jumbo, large, small or whatever without also putting the size in terms of empirical measurement ie Jumbo cards : length x width.

To a graphics artist, "size" and "sizing" comes up all the time. You "re-size" a photo or a drawing. When you do a function like this, it is almost always an increase in width and height and if you re-size something to 4 times its original size, you get results like the OP. It is what is familiar. To a mathematician, it would be different.
