(OT) Metric - was The answer from Yamaha

[Don]

Hi Cy,

There are more receipes that are not converted from the "non metric" where
such silliness as 37.5 ml (or 5/32 of one cup, or 2 table spoons and 1.5
teaspoons) would not be an issue. I also think you will find the flour is
done by volume not weight. In your example 450 ml (not grams) would be far
easier than 1 7/8 of flour when divided by 3. Come to think of it 5/32 of
one cup would be a nasty division too!

For those of you who insist on metric being "difficult" here is a nice
online converter.
