In England, Fanny refers to the area around the front rather than behind..... and female only!
I know it really doesn't matter, but I'm curious as to why some people refer to a camera/film as 4x5 and others 5x4 (or 8x10 vs 10x8, etc). Is it a cultural thing (I notice a lot more English and European than American photographers call it 5x4).
It's due to the Coriolis effect, which happens worldwide, not to be confused with the Corleone effect, which is prevalent mostly in Chicago and New York.
Kodak uses a Silver Gallon in the plant, but a Silver Mole in KRL. Coatings are in mg/square foot, and so the last conversion in the coating calculations contains 454 in it to convert the units.
In the UK petrol must be sold by the litre, yet govt official fuel consumption figures for cars are in miles per gallon. Carpet is sold by the metre, yet often priced per square yard. You can legally buy a pint of milk or beer, yet any other fluid must be sold by the litre. Madness!
I live in Virginia and Norfolk is paying 100 million dollars for light rail track that goes from Norfolk to a 7/11 in Virginia Beach.
The reason why it is 4X5 and not 5X4 is because that is the way it is written on the yellow Kodak box
And we all know that Kodak has never made a mistake or let the LF world down
Don't forget, one of Kodak's greatest successes was with circular images...
As a Brit living in America I seem to use 4x5 and 5x4 to suit my audience. That's true of many terms - 'lift' vs. 'elevator', 'street' vs. 'road', but not when I'm driving

once the tracks are laid, they do not go anywhere. They are in place in the evening and the next morning they are still there.
A street is paved. Example: In the City of London there are streets.
A road is not paved. Hence country roads.
Now the uneducated English/American speakers incorrectly use them interchangeably for paved thoroughfares.

Actually, once the tracks are laid, they do not go anywhere. They are in place in the evening and the next morning they are still there.
So, exactly what is your problem?
