I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

So I can either dirty up some spoons, or go buy a second scale that only gets used for the small stuff… In general I agree, of course, but there definitely is a use case for volumetric measuring spoons.
