Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

    There’s a method to the madness. I’m pretty sure woodworking joinery is why inch fractions are the way they are. Lots of stuff I’d rather do in metric, machining for example, but specifically woodworking works very well in fractional inches.
