Why do Americans measure in cups?
Aren't cups a standard measure in the United States? Also, wouldn't you measure a liquid in a type of cup (unless it was a glass)?

Don't they have kitchen scales?
Don't those in the United States in kitchens usually measure by volume rather than weight?

Will this turn into a discussion of whether metric is better than U. S. Customary Measure?

Since the Imperial Pint is 1/8th of an Imperial Gallon, which is larger than 1/8th of the U. S. Gallon, wouldn't the Imperial Pint be larger?

Isn‘t ist lovely that after about 24/8ths of a pint it either won‘t matter any more or will turn into a matter of life and death?

Would consuming that little Guinness be a problem for a certain chicken?

Why is the US so against changing to metric measures when half a litre is over 5% more than a US pint?
