Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

    I’m amused that my logic is the same but opposite of yours: why the fuck should I scoop and level something to get an “exact measurement”, when I could just dump into a container on a scale and get an actual exact measurement.
