Default Why the new default font size (Word 2007)?

Why's that? Is 11pt considered the new 'standard' in the modern day? Even
with formal documents like letters and CVs? Thanks.

So I take it that 11pt is better than 12pt for Calibri in particular? Or are
Microsoft recommending that all fonts look better as 11pt standard? A letter

size 12.


Maybe it's just taste, right. Though, for most letters, 12 pt is
probably not what Corporate Design will recommend, these days.
