Why do Americans use cups to measure everything? Lb/Oz at least makes sense as a measurement, sure it's outdated, but at least you can still be accurate with it.

How are you even supposed to perfect a recipe with cups? Need a pinch more flour? The add 20g. Need a pinch more flour in an American recipe? You're fucked (unless you start getting spoons out, which is also inaccurate and difficult to replicate).

I google for recipies in English so I get the most results, but I hate that I have to immediately close 90% of them because they use cups. They are ridiculously unspecific and dysfunctional. How am I supposed to measure a stick of butter in a cup? Or literally anything that doesn't fit into a cup well? What the fuck is this measurement?
