Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups?

I’m always confused by their insistence to use fluid ounces.

An ounce is fine it’s a measurement to wait. But how can you measure liquids by weight when really what you mean is displacement.its like saying fluid kilograms, it’s not a thing, it makes no sense.

I know Americans probably know what it means but everybody else doesn’t have a clue. If you have 250 fluid oz of something is that like a bucket or a single droplet? Or is it a small booting lake, I have no idea at all.
