That’s fine, it’s the insistence that “cups” is a measurement that pisses me off.

Especially when you have oz, fl oz and cups in one recipe. Sort it the fuck out and just use grams.

Cups can be a nightmare in the UK as it's usually US cups, but sometimes it's metric cups (which are just 250ml, so an entirely redundant measurement in the first place), and recipes rarely say which, and if you buy measuring cups, they'll rarely say which type they are, but more commonly be metric ones, despite those being the least likely that a recipe would use.

"Metric cup" sounds like something from Lovecraft to me.

Ah yes. I remember preparing a recipe once that included frying up the ingredients in a cup of oil, and that turns out seriously fucking greasy if you use the UK cup size.
