Excerpt:

The gill is part of *both* systems: it is ¼ of a pint. That is not misinformation; that is the definition.

So a US gill is four US fluid ounces, or half a US cup. And an imperial gill is five imperial fluid ounces, or half an "imperial cup".

As usual, the imperial unit is approximately 20% larger than the corresponding US customary measure. Until Fannie Farmer put her foot down about it and basically invented volume measure as the American standard, soup spoons and wine glasses and teacups and pinches and handfuls ran rife through cookbook recipes, as did specifications such as "hot fire", "seethe hard to the count of five" and other equally precise instructions. Fannie was a Boston Yankee.
