Mister MicawberAre the sentences above correct? Yes, as amended.
Thanks MM, but where is the correction?
Mister MicawberThe grammar is OK, but it has no meaning for me. What size is 'portrait size'?
Both the speaker and the person spoken to understand what size is portrait.

That may be, but if you don't know what 'portrait size' is and I don't know what 'portrait size' is, then I cannot say that the phrase is 'all right'.

Thanks Khof.
MM, I got the point. All of us should know 'what portrait size' is.
