   @mangeurdenuage half a cup = 3 syllables
   
   120 milliliters = 9-10 syllables (depending on an optional "and")
   
   Literally 3x easier but europeans are full of hot air so it makes sense

     @paula @mangeurdenuage that's also not accurate in it's own right. Each flour has different densities so you'll be off unless the recipe calls for a specific flour type.

     @7666 @mangeurdenuage cause volume measurement is graded and sometimes you need a specific value
     so if you need 230ml of flour, you'll need to do "a little less than 250ml"
     while on a scale you can get straight up the quantity in grams
     just a matter of precision, whether it matters depends on what you are making

     @paula @mangeurdenuage why would you use grams? Y'all never hear of density? A cup is a unit of volume

     @7666 @mangeurdenuage nobody would measure flour in mililiters tho, we use grams for that
     i agree half a cup works well in simple recipes but like, if you are looking up a recipe, might as well use something precise in grams
