A fluid ounce is a measurement of volume.
An ounce is a measurement of weight.
They are not the same (though they may be related, e.g. a fluid ounce of water may or may not weigh an ounce). It’s Friday night, so I can’t be arsed to look it up. 😂)

@mysturji@mastodonapp.uk @Fasgadh@mastodon.scot @John_Loader@ohai.social @nobrainnopain@social.tchncs.de @kibcol1049@mstdn.social There were correlations between volume and weight of water in the Imperial system. The problem is when recipes try to use that for other liquids.
