One revolution I have realized in baking is the recent trend to start talking about weight and not volume in recipes for certain dry ingredients like flour. Three cups of fluffy sifted flour is a lot less flour than three cups of densely packed flour. Same with brown sugar, or wondering if you need a "flat teaspoon" vs. a "heaping teaspoon" of something.

At least an oz is easily measurable. It's worse, when they tell You to add a cup of something.
no it's a beauty mark
Imagine feeling actual hatred toward a system of measurement.
you would be a bit peeved as well if one guy in a lecture hall with 150 people constantly asked you to convert every measurement in your talk to something only that guy understands.
"I don't understand this thing and I'm proud of it!!"

Ha ha yeah like when they can't tell the difference between the UN and the EU lol
