Cup is a standard size for measuring liquids: 8 fl oz. It's only a problem for flour, because how much you can fit in a cup varies depending on humidity and how much you pack it.

To add to this, there are at least 3 "cup" sizes for liquid: metric (~250ml), the US version (above, ~236ml) and an imperial cup (~284ml).

Also the Japanese cup [1], which is 200 mL. I (American) have come across it twice (a rice cooker, and a dandan recipe).

A metric cup is exactly 250ml though, not approximately, right?

Except one cup in metric is 250 ml, not the ~236ml that a US cup is.
