 It seems nearly impossible to add a citation to the statement that "All these units have fairly limited uses in cooking". Perhaps it might be better to state something along the lines of "All these units are very large and not commonly used in cooking", and then cite the NIST.gov Metric Cooking Resources page (https://www.nist.gov/pml/weights-and-measures/metric-cooking-resources) which lists TSP & TBSP but does not list Teraspoons and Tebispoons?

 :Aye, it's bit of an in-joke that arose from Randall's use of the phrase for mostly-inarguable axioms in What-Ifs, rather than his Wikipedia Protestor comic. But if it had to be linked to something, that page is as logical as any other.

−	Hi, is anyone able to move (rename) this page from "Tsp vs Tbsp" to "TSP vs TBSP" to match the official comic's title? (I guess the comic was changed after the page was created. I already updated the title in the metadata, but I don't seem to have the option to move the page. I also asked on [[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Admin_requests#Comic_2526_.22Tsp_vs_Tbsp.22:_Move_to_.22TSP_vs_TBSP.22\|Admin requests]] but nobody replied yet.) Thanks.
