Talk:Teaspoon

message: Seem to remember once being told that a gubbock (sp?)is the name for the teaspoon left at the bottom of the sink when you have finished washing everything else up -is this true?
This sounds like it will have originated in The Meaning of Liff (or in other words, 'no')  Grumpypierre (talk) 19:29, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Who keeps changing "ml" into "mL" ? Although "mL" is theoretically correct, "ml" is the most common form, used much more than "mL".

replies: text: See litre#Symbol for a brief discussion of the ml vs. mL issue in different countries. If you say things like "most common" without adding a country or region, you may want to travel more. Markus Kuhn 14:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I think when there is a choice between technically correct usage, and common usage, technically correct usage wins here. Especially since 'common usage' is really a subjective opinion. You just have to check a cookbook to see the correct usage of mL. Sahuagin (talk) 23:53, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

message: This article now has three external links to advertising-supported conversion site. External links are helpful for things you might not be able to find on your own. Conversion sites, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen. Go to Google and type on How many teaspoons in a and you'll get bunches of them. One will even tell you how many teaspoons in a cubic light year (1.7E+53). The point is, this all looks to be like spam to me. Zyxwv99 (talk) 22:38, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I recently read an article that said so many teaspoons equal an ounce.  What the heck kind of insanity is that?  I was wondering if there was an arcane system at work here that isn't in this Wiki article.  Anyone know?Longinus876 (talk) 15:29, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you point us to the article? My guess is that it was either talking about teaspoons of some specific substance, or it was talking about fluid ounces (which is already covered in the article). --Macrakis (talk) 17:20, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

message: Context: The previous link to a UK NHS page has been redirecting to another page on the NHS for many years. That target page has now also been "retired" (NHS terminology).  I've provided an archive.org link so that the original content can be read. 
The original (NHS) content was based on a particular academic paper. I've cited that using the auto filling of the visual editor, but I see that there are now red marked deficiencies, but these cannot be sorted using the visual editor.  
Please can somebody, more familiar with the Source editor, and the required citation  style, sort this out?  Many thanks.
