What is a cup? What is a cup for liquid? What is a cup for flour?

Ffs.

Cups are ~235ml regardless of wet or dry. They are one of the sane-er measurements

You may be confusing your frustration with the ounce, which may refer to:

  • avoirdupois ounce, used for mass in most cases
  • Troy ounce, used for mass when referring to precious metals
  • the imperial fluid ounce, used for volume sometimes
  • the us customary fluid ounce, used for volume sometimes
  • the us food labelling ounce, used for volume like the customary fluid ounce, but rounded to a nice number of milliliters

You might be right, I think I got annoyed with fluid ounces in cups in a recipe with flour also measured in cups, and some other random third measurement.
