I was commenting on Wikipedia saying that we use 250 ml as a "cup" measurement.

Youz guyz use the same cup measurement as we do......... oops, we use the same cup measurement as youz guyz have been using for many more years than we have.

And the "cup" i.e. the vessel that you drink you coffee from is different, obviously, than the "cup" measurement.

Some king or somebody like that decided one day at tea time that the cup he was drinking would be the official measurement, much like the "foot" that youz guyz started.

Silly, silly, silly.

Anyway, I just use my measuring "cup", which happens to be in ounces AND ml's when I cook or bake. It doesn't get much use! LOL

Now, let's get to bra sizes........
When ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise.
