Which units should I use in English recipes?
I would like to put a few recipes in English on a website. I would like to ask you which units should I choose so that they were comprehensible both for the British and Americans (and possibly also for Australians, Canadians...). Do you think metric units, ie. grams and millilitres, with American cups enclosed in brackets would be a good choice? I'm not quite sure about the American cups, though. It may be rather confusing as there are cups of different volume used here in Europe... But the same holds true for ounces; so if I put American ounces in brackets, someone could misteke it for imperial ounces....

vowel length in AmE vs. BrE
I've learned that in American English it works like follows: vowels are pronounced longer in stressed syllables and they are shorter if the syllable is unstressed. Vowels are also shorter if they are foolowed by an unvoiced consonant (for example "feed" is pronounced longer than "feet").
How about British English? Do these rules apply also in British English or is it just an American peculiarity?
Thanks a lot for your advice!

consignment/shipment
I'm looking for an English word that means something that can be sent by post in general (be it a parcel of any size or a letter). Is there such a word in English? I have got two candidates: consignment and shipment. However, I found that both consignment and shipment mean primarily "an act of sending" – not the thing itself that can be sent. Is that right?
Thanks a lot!
