The fuck is a fluid ounce?
Common mistake. Its actually Florida ounces.
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.
Ounces that are wet.
Damn liberals and their woke-genderized measurements smh
...two-thirds a dram of scotch whisky...
1/8th of a cup
About 4.835 micro cubic fathoms.
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?
