As I brought up measurements, I remember that I always wonder

When did people stop putting T for tablespoon and t for teaspoon? Cookbooks today always seem to use Tb and ts, and while that probably ends a lot of confusion I still can't figure out when this changed. I'm certain when I was little I was taught Big T and little t, and that wasn't that long ago, was it?

tsp for teaspoon was also standard in a lot of books in the 50s. Tbs was tablespoon.

I didn't know that. I guess nothing is as new as I think!
