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?
