I've chosen to read it as "fluid ounces" for years, never once questioning "how is a fluid ounce different from a regular one?".
Fluid ounce is a measure of volume (8 fluid ounces per cup) ounces is a unit of weight (16 ounces per pound)
measures your solids in fluid ounces
The most confusing part of this to me is having this feeling of only remembering seeing floz on orange juice boxes, so it could have been Florida for all I knew. Thanks for the clarification that I'm only going partially insane!
It's the Murikan way to copy milliliters, which are the same as cubic centimeters volumetrically.
Fluid ounces are cubic nurples.
Huh? I just did a conversion and it says 1 fluid ounce equals 30 milliliters
The conversion process takes many computing cycles. I don't recommend typing it into Google too many times or it will cause brownouts in North Dakota.
By pure coincidence, you've chosen to read it the exact way it's meant to be read.
