How does one measure 3/4 cup butter without going mad?

Seriously. I don't use cup measurements often, but butter measured in a cup sounds ridiculous. What do I do?

Do you get butter in pounds where you are? Ours has been metrificated for quite a while - it *looks* like 8oz, but I think it's 250g, which is a bit more.

The labelling is metric, but butter still comes by the 454 grams. wry g I'm going to have to check the smaller blocks now, though, to see if they're 227g or 250g!

Damn it, now I'm going to have to go downstairs and see how big my butter blocks are!

250g, with markings to divide it into five sections.

I did not mean to cause midnight butter-measuring crises! But now you know for certain: yay? *g*

I had to check in the supermarket today -- the smaller blocks here are indeed 227g. So the matter of international butter measurements has gotten even more complicated, and Chris' face sums up my feelings completely!
