wow.  seldom have I seen more absurdity on the web....

using "1 tsp salt" the best it comes up with is 0.099 ounces per teaspoon.

everyone in Europe - where tsp is not so common... - has a scale that will measure 0.099 ounces

 

Not sure what you're looking at.  When I do the search it says 6 grams per teaspoon (Edit: 0.2116 oz).  I just measured 1 tsp of table salt and it was 7 grams (on my scale that only measures to the nearest gram).

 

I measure salt by weight all the time (usually in greater quantities).

 

Edit: Do people in Europe measure in ounces? I think America is the last bastion of that antiquated measurement system.
