It's open to interpretation? Not that it's an ideal measuring system, but all those units should have unambiguous metric equivalents.


I believe the suggestion is that many recipes with metric measurements will use grams (measuring mass), while most American recipes use cups/tablespoons/etc. (measuring volume). I've noticed this and have no idea why it's the case.
