Well I usually weigh stuff but I don't have scales. I have no idea why Americans seem to prefer the cup measurements, I was hoping you could tell me! There are lots of problems with volume measuring, as many things have a different density so 1 cup of one thing might actually be less than 1 cup of another.

Well, cups are easier and cheaper than scales, I guess?

They will give us different volumes for different things--like they will tell you how much to use if you have cake flour versus regular flour, or specify if you are supposed to sift before measuring or whatever.
