A cooking equipment question

[sraun]

What's the difference between dry and liquid measuring cups? Why did I get taught that you never measured liquid in dry and vice versa? They're both volume measurement, and they're measuring the same volume, so what gives?

Yeah. What they said.

Kelly was convinced that a liquid cup and a dry cup were different volumes and yelled at me for being sloppy until I demonstrated to her their identicality by pouring water from one to another.
