If you measure a liquid other than water, then a fluid ounce does not weigh an ounce... so what?
Even water, the density is 1.0 oz/fl oz, but that's as many significant figures as you get. You would often want more significant figures, even in non-scientific contexts.

- klodolph 4y agoOk, I had assumed you knew what fluid ounces were. Yeah, that assumption doesn’t make sense since it’s not used outside the US and a couple other countries. A fluid ounce is 29.5735 mL. The “fluid ounce”, being a measure of volume, can be used to measure fluids.
