I was not correcting you, I was just trying to clear up confusion.
On the exact meaning, it is different. One may mean you have two spoons filled with sugar, the other may mean you have the amount of sugar two spoonfuls could hould. Depending on the size of the spoon of course. :O

It is neither. The answer is "10 mL of sugar".

If a spoon could be filled with sugar, how much sugar could two spoonfuls of sugar be filled with sugar before becoming spoonfuls of sugar instead of just two spoons with sugar in them?
But this question, and yours, are purely hypothetical (and therefore useless, just like your puny life), because: there is no spoon. So it can't be filled. Even if, with the proper experience and technique, you could probably fill a spoon with sugar, admitting their existance (which his an heretic thought in terms of philosophy).
In conclusion:
Fill me, not the spoon.

Do you need two spoonfuls of sugar, or some other sugar-like substance that you are going to heat up in a spoon?
