I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    The US isn’t as entirely devoid of metric as a lot of people get the impression. We all learn it in school and are perfectly familiar with it, we just never made the switch for everyday units, so a lot of people lack the intuition around what the values mean. I can’t tell you what 25c feels like without thinking about it for a minute.

    I’m curious though, does anyone not use the proper names for the elements?
