[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might get a more insightful response if you weren’t so hostile about it. I’m sure there is a historical reason for this if you really want to know. [/quote]

Here you go. Despite the hostile OP I will share this because I love it so much:

What a dumb post setup with a whole bunch of strawmen.

Omg, a 3rd of a cup is 68.3333 grams!!! Dumb. Because anyone making a recipe using mass wouldn't use 68.333 grams in the first place, the recipe would be invented to optimize ratios and would use 65 grams, 68 grams, or 70 grams.  Working with base 10 is infinitely easier.  The poster is fixated in decimals. Lol, if that matters to you, you wouldn't use grams of you're concerned about .035 grams, you'd just use milligrams instead.  Or if you have decimals of liters, you'd use milliliters.   It's really not that hard as that poster makes you want to believe. They're just trying to setup ridiculously stupid scenarios to support a weak argument when they completely ignore simply using a different metric unit of base 10.

Oh you, need 6.036 grams of flour?  Not hard, weigh 6 grams and 36 milligrams of flour. Lol.  Takes 10 seconds to do.

[b]So many stupid Americans ignorant of science and basic measurements. [/b][/quote]

So we are 'stupid' because we don't use the measurements you use.    How about someone who comes on an American chat to insult Americans?  What would you think if an American did this to any other country?  It is rude when you do it and rude when Americans do!

Go back under your metric rock[/quote]
