It doesn't seem to have anything to do with spilling coffee as it is being made. Please stay on topic !

. . . after I finished the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing cursing
Set up coffee to make the normal first pint. Except I didn't put my cup under it and left the drip-catcher (a dirty cracked cup) there. Said drip-catcher cup holds 8oz or so (1/2 pint to you metric-oriented heathens).
So, when musical sound of dripping stops I go to collect it. Keen observation indicates I'd need to sponge it up and suck on the sponge for that to succeed.
Cleaning, drying, and more careful, this time. It sounds nearly done.
Is it Monday, already?

Well, ounces are measures of weight and pints are measures of volume. Both imperial, that is to say: invented here. Metric measures are all decimal values, such as 500cc or 1/2 Litre.

And volume (base unit in a system based upon powers of 2 - much better for computers).
And sometimes both: A pint's a pound the world 'round.*
* much like a liter of water is very very nearly 1kg at STP, but metric just doesn't have any sort of poetic soul.

Totally agree; it was forced on us (badly) when we joined what was then the Common Market.

No it wasn't forced on us, the UK began the adoption of the metric system in 1965 which was 8 years before joining he common market, but metric units had been legalised for UK trade since 1897.

It pretty much was when it became illegal to sell bananas etc. by imperial weight.

Either that or Gigaparsecs.

It was never illegal to sell bananas using only metric measures as we were allowed to use supplementary indications for a limited period which was extended several times due to public resistance to the metric units until 2009, in 2009 the requirement to ultimately cease use of traditional units alongside metric units was finally removed.

That's fluid ounces (you have to say the word "fluid", or people might misunderstand).

Well - I think that works both ways - but here's a trick: consider the context!
When someone say use an "eight ounce cup", I would imagine only a very very small portion of the population would imagine that meant that one should weigh the vessel to determine its appropriateness for use. They'd probably jump to the irrational conclusion that it must be the cup's measured volume which they need to ascertain.
And I was talking in relation to "pint" - which sort of clarifies everything to almost everyone.
