I think you may be assuming something, here, Sweet Prince of the Desert.  
Americans are definitely not the only cooks in the world.  How many cooks do 
we have on this list who were not born in this country and did not grow up 
using American Standard Weights?

You did however voice my concern with the mass vs volume measurements, 
though.  I have no idea what 4 oz of flour LOOKS like.  Since I don't bake, I 
do almost all my measuring by hand.  A recipe that uses uses mass 
measurements is difficult for me, because I have to actually measure 
everything.  If a recipe has only mass measurements in it, I seldom go beyond 
simply reading over it, I am reluctant to actually try it
