Default Some more

If I may add to this a couple more that are still used here in places.

1 fluid ounce = 28.35 ml


1 pint = 0.567 litres

1 quart = 1.136 litres


1 gallon = 4.54 litres

1/4 litre = 8.8 fluid ounces


1/2 litre = 17.6 fluid ounces

1 litre = 1 pint 19.2 fluid ounces


5 litres = 1 gallon 16 fluid ounces

5 fluid ounces = 1 gill


2 gills = 1 cup

4 gills = 1 pint


20 fluid ounces = 1 pint

2 cups = 1 pint


2 pints = 1 quart

4 quarts = 1 gallon


8 pints equals 1 gallon

1 teaspoon = 0.21 fl.oz


3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon


Gills and fl.oz, pints and quarts are still used by the old cooks when I am talking to them. And it seems right to me that I use the exact form they use.....call me crazy lol
