All baking recipe ingredients should be in weight, not volume.

I'm tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

"One pound of milk"
-
yes. It's far easier to measure liquids by mass accurately
-
454 ml! Because 1 gram of water is also 1 milliliter.

Density of whole milk according to first google answer is 1,034g/cm^3.
It's been a while, but would that make it 438,68 ml?
Edit: But I totally agree with your statement. SI/ metric units is superior in every way with how easy it is to convert between them. At university in Norway I had American textbooks in all but one of my chemistry classes and all used SI/metric and proper names for the elements

The US isn't as entirely devoid of metric as a lot of people get the impression. We all learn it in school and are perfectly familiar with it, we just never made the switch for everyday units, so a lot of people lack the intuition around what the values mean. I can't tell you what 25c feels like without thinking about it for a minute.
I'm curious though, does anyone not use the proper names for the elements?

The texts books at least used natrium and kalium for the most part as far as I remember.
Are lot of the web pages did not. But this was 2004-2010.

1 gram of pure, distilled water at average gravity at sea level etc. but close enough.

Yes, but in real units :P
I have one bowl and I just measure in all my wet by weight without dirtying a cup or spoon
-
3/32 Stones weight of water.

I've never seen a commercial scale that didn't measure Grams and Lbs. Really common stuff.
It might be more of a concern for industrial scales, but I'm sure industrial food processing use Weight for all their ingredients already.
