yet they use the Imperial system of measurement.

Curious :bean-think: .

    The Imperial system of units is so stupid

    I wish Britain had gone all in on curing itself of it, instead of the stupid half-measures we have

    The US cup measures 236.59 mL. In comparison, the old imperial UK cup (most commonly referenced in pre-1970s recipes) measures 284.13 mL. The metric cup, referenced in Commonwealth countries and modern UK recipes, measures 250 mL.

    The US Customary System is actually different from the imperial system, especially for units of volume

      • There are eight US ounces (29.57 mL) in a US cup (236.59 mL)

      • There are approximately nine (~8.8) imperial ounces (28.41 mL) in a metric cup (250 mL)

      • There are ten imperial ounces in an imperial cup (284.13 mL)

      Not confusing at all, right?

        tf is a metric cup? No one uses that shit. And I think TERF island are the only ones using the 10 oz imperial cup.
