[edit] Clean up
I don't like trashing decent articles with an template, so for minor fiddles like this, the clean template above makes more sense.
- I've been away south helping out with the post H. Katrina recovery, so I'm not up on a lot of the newer changes, like footnotes, or I'd do this myself. I've got about 3-4 more edit pages to pop off and finish in a string and being after midnight, I'm not going to research such now!
- The need I see is to move the legal cites down into the nice new footnotes.

[edit] (Fluid) ounce
It is infuriating the number of recipes that, due to the laziness of the writer or copier, fail to include the word "fluid" and yet it is implied with the item to be measured. Since when would you measure out 6 ounces of water? Or pizza sauce? Sometimes, it could be either weight or volume, but the frequent omission of the word "fluid" leaves it ambiguous.
This is one reason why I disdain the customary/imperial measures and prefer metric. At least there's no such thing as a "fluid gram" or a "mass/weight millilitre"!
Fl oz is no harder to print than ounce(s). GBC 03:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, in metric it's not customary to volumes by weight but measures of density are used.GreatMizuti 14:23, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
