There is no such thing as a regular ounce. A fluid ounce is a unit of volume. There are 16 fluid ounces (US) to the pint (US). A dry ounce is a unit of weight. There are 16 dry ounces to the pound. Frequently, the words fluid and dry are omitted. You have to know whether you're talking about volume or dry weight.

Ounces is a measure of weight, with 16 ounces in 1 pound. Fluid ounces is a measure of volume, with 8 ounces in a cup.

There is no way to convert from one to the other since ingredients have different densities (weight per cup). For example, one cup (8 fl oz) of rice will weight much less than one cup of water.

However, 8 fluid ounces (1 cup) of water does weigh approximately 8 ounces (1/2 lb.)
