> Do people in other countries have measuring spoons in gram size? And do you always tell people whether you meant by volume or weight?
Grams are a mass measure. A recipe calling for X grams of Y requires a scale to be accurately followed. Volumetric measurements, e.g. teaspoons and ounces, are easier to follow, but they're less accurate. (Canonical example is salt. Ask for a mass measurement of salt, and you'll always get the same amount of it. Ask for a volumetric quantity, and your mileage [hehe] will vary based on what type of salt is used.)
