We have only included common volume amounts which you are likely to encounter in daily life such as in cookery and recipes, if you want pecks, jiggers or bushels you won't find them here. A lot of online recipe resourses tend to have pints, fluid ounces etc and converting them to the metric system so that it is easy for people who prefer the metric system is the main purpose of this calculator. Until I made this calculator I did not realise that US and UK pints and gallons were different. There are differences between US, UK and metric teaspoons and tablespoons. Oh my dear how tedious. Here we only use the metric ones because they are much simpler). It's about time the British and Americans started using metric measurements which are so much easier. The metric system was invented by the French and was first used in 1799, during the French Revolution. In the 19th century, the metric system was adopted by almost most European countries.
