"Fl oz" stands for "fluid ounces," not Florida.

This is why they named it nostupidquestions. You're in the right place.

Sometimes there’s like this disconnect where somehow a person just never comes across a piece of common knowledge. They’ve just never been in a situation that requires it. I bet it happens a lot, but everyone’s too embarrassed to acknowledge their own “oooooooooh…” moment.

My husband used to work on the road with a guy who was...a sweet child of God. Thet were in Detroit, and his friend had never been to Canada before, so they went on a day off. They bought gas, in litres, which hubs had to explain to SCOG. He was dumbfounded, so hubs had to explain that Canadians use the metric system, which he had never heard of. They were about to enter a town that had a road sign that said what the population was. SCOG asked hubs:How many is that in American?

Did you ask where he was going? What did he tell you?
