When I started cooking as a hobby a few years I realized recipes make the US system look easy.
Ounces can be either a volume or a weight, you determine which to use based on the contex
People who write recipes pay no attention to repeatability of results. I've converted my favorite recipes to volume for liquids and weight for solids so I can repeat them if I want. I'm thinking of going to weights.
3 large tomatoes
1 medium onion
4 oz ground beef
2 oz beef broth
is basically meaningless if you want to repeat it accurately
OTOH, when I was a kid my mom took me to the doctor who gave her some powdered medicine for me. The prescription was to give me "about as much as you can pile on a dime."
