Hello Michiel,

 BF>>   Nowadays it's much more a matter of global communications in the

 MvdV> Good point.

Not really. There are other methods that work just as well, or better.

 MvdV> When I see a recipe using non-metric units, I just move on.

Why? You really should expand your horizons.

 MvdV> I am of course capable of doing the conversion, but it is just not worth

You are being ridiculous.

 MvdV> Recipes are not a scarce commodity, I can easely find one using metric

I do not need the metric system in order to prepare a meal.
I do not need the imperial system in order to prepare a meal.
Using my hand, along with my fingers, is all I really need
in order to measure units, or prepare a meal. So why use
anything else?

For liquid measurements, I like to use a shot glass.
I have several made of glass, but also some made of metal
as glass tends to be very brittle and does not last very
long when dropped on the floor.

A baseball, tennis ball, and deck of cards also helps.
But none of those items are really necessary.
