One is a liquid measurement and the other is weight.

<><><><><>

It is technically correct to say "fluid ounce" when referring to volume. The term "ounce" is also, technically, a unit of mass, not a unit of weight. While many people refer to mass and weight equally, they are not the same thing.

Also, "fluid ounce" is not specific enough. You need to say "US Fluid Ounce", "Imperial Fluid Ounce", or "US Regulation Fluid Ounce", otherwise your answer is indeterminate.
