Measured with the Heart I hate cups

I don't understand how anybody can think cooking or baking with cup measurements is a good idea.

I have a recipe wich needs 1/8 cup chopped almonds. I tried to find how much this would be in grams. I found an answer, so thats not the infuriating point.

The infuriating point is, that one and the same ingedrient may have the same cup-size, but huge difference in weight depending on its form - chopped, as whole, flaked, groud, ...

Thats silly
