Pro tip:
10g of salt for 100g of pasta boiled in 1000g of water
Americans can figure out the conversion by themselves :’D

That is an American measure. Imprecise as fuck.
The metric conversion is:
For an ISO standard size adult hand (adjust +/-13% to take into account hand size deviation from ISO standard):
For spaghetti sizes 5-6, make the ok sign with your hand, placing the fingernail of your index finger against the base of your thumb for une person, against the middle joint for 2 people, and to the tip for 3 people.
The pressure exerted by the index finger to the thumb joints should be 9.81 kPa +/- 15%.

100g is near enough 4oz. So, just remember 4oz per person and you’re good.
I don’t usually measure the water, but 1l of water is just under 2pints. And 10g of salt is more than I’d use, but I guess that’s about just under 1/2 Oz.

Fortunately we can buy metric scales here too. You have to ask for them in the back of the shop and pay cash only, but they exist.
