@coderanger To be fair, tsp/tbsp/cup are still used over here, but they’re defined in terms of mL. (1 tsp = 5mL, 1 tbsp = 20mL, 1 cup = 250mL.) Interestingly, the Australian metric tablespoon is 20mL but the international metric tablespoon is 15mL. So yeah, we are not entirely free of sin over here.

@daisy Yup - caught that down the history after I posted. Sorry for the noise!
