:: Thanks. I see that. Such publications make sweeping generalizations as USA and the rest of the world. But practical knowledge and country specific examples like I cited show that volume based measurements are still a norm in countries such as India and Pakistan. The way forward is likely adding such exceptions with USA until a more comprehensive citation is found. [[User:Ramananrv123|rams81]] ([[User talk:Ramananrv123|talk]]) 13:47, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

::: There is also a distinction between home and commercial methods. Do commercial bakeries in India or Pakistan measure by volume? [[User:Gzuufy|Gzuufy]] ([[User talk:Gzuufy|talk]]) 19:55, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

::That would be an almost difficult thing to find out as unlike standardisation and formality found in commercial bakeries in US, Canada, Europe and Australia-NZ with documented recipes, much of South Asia would work on word of mouth, experience, skills, knowledge retention and transfer in stead of documented recipes. Or, I could find from websites of celebrity Indian chefs and see what measurements they use - weights vs volume.
