gsm?

[Johnny B]

Hi

Okay, this is a stupid question, but what does gsm stand for? I know it refers to paper weight....is it grams? is it thickness? And gsm is probably some equivalent to ISO, but I don't know what it is, and a google search didn't help much.

Thanks for indulging me.

gsm = gram per meter square (metric)

Cheers

Why?

Why?

Because, without the US, Liberia would be the only country left fighting the evils of the metric system.
