Re: How to measure ingredients

For fry stuff specified in grams it is customary to use a scale.

For the teaspoons and so on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaspoon

A teaspoon is 5 ml, a tablespoon is 15 ml, a cup is 240 ml, a fluid australian (fl.oz.) is 30 ml.

I have a small dispenser cup from cough medicine which I use for measuring ml's...
But teaspons and tablespoons measure volume and ml is weight, right? And wouldn't the cough medicine measure - which is for liquid - assume a greater weight per volume that is heavier than for something like yeast? Or am I being overly precise? Maybe metric recipes have implicitly converted volume to weight or something.
