      Fluid ounce is volume, ounce is weight. Liters vs grams.

        Ah wonderful, so I’m sure one fluid ounce of water weighs precisely one ounce weight wise?

          Almost identical, my understanding is it’s slightly off since it’s such an old measurement. But for everyday purposes it’s the same.

        Because everyone on Reddit is American? Or that the entire planet is supposed to understand nuanced differences between ounces and fluid ounces that only… what, 3 countries on the planet use?
