Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Incidentally, in Australia a tablespoon is equal to four teaspoons. (Based on the metric system. They're 5 ml and 20 ml respectively.)
That is just wrong. Those are neither teaspoons nor tablespoons. You already have more exact and usable units of measure, you don't need to confuse ours.

Hey, I sympathise. By which, of course, I mean point and mock from a safe distance.
SPOOOOOON!
5 ml is pretty close to a teaspoon. And half-centiliter is unwieldy.
But I thought it was three! Why does Oz measure differently?
Worst plane ride ever--guy took offense at me telling his gf her cell was supposed to be off and threatened me for the next 20 minutes. Kinda scary really, especially since I was in te window seat. Way to end the vacation.
I agree with meara, it's three teaspoons to a tablespoon.
It's always been three teaspoons to a tablespoon here too!
American measurement systems are really, really wacky.
Yikes, meara, that's awful! I hope you are off the plane and far away from that guy now.
WTF, meara?
I think I would have been tempted to alert a stewttendant. Threatening you? Um, no. Air marshall!

It's three most places aside from Oz. The reason is because you define it on an imperial measure, fluid ounces, and when we went decimal, we went hard-core. Or something like that.
I thought about it, but didn't want to, from the window seat, call one over and get Into it. Nor did I want to ask him and his girlfriend to move so I could get to the lav and attendants.
