Ask HN: How big are your tablespoons?

This is kind of random, but I was watching a cooking video where the presenter said things like "we add two tablespoons of olive oil", and it looks like they pour much more than that. And that has been my feeling all along. "Sprinkle a tablespoon of kosher salt on a chicken"? That seems very little. Then I googled "1 tablespoon to ml" and found that about 15ml is the definition of tablespoon. I just measured mine. They hold 10ml, and I consider them regular size. Are American tablespoons larger? Or is the measure "tablespoon" independent from actual utensils, and whenever you read "two tablespoons" in a recipe, you know to pour three actual tablespoons?
