The fuck is a fluid ounce?
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.
So fluid ounces are just metric with extra steps :/
Common mistake. Its actually Florida ounces.
Ounces that are wet.
About 4.835 micro cubic fathoms.
Damn liberals and their woke-genderized measurements smh
1/8th of a cup
...two-thirds a dram of scotch whisky...
This cannot be a real question.
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?
