If you have a Bed Bath and Beyond or similar store anywhere close, they sell a bunch of measuring cups of various sizes.
What Is Everyone using To Measure Chlorine?

We have Dollar General stores on almost every corner here in the south. They sell a plastic, semi-clear, 4 cup, measuring cup for $1.00 each. I bought a few for use at the pool. These have easy to read measurements, won't break and are cheap!
Secondary Containment! I've been required to do something similar in protected environments.
I measure my chlorine with a TF-100 test kit and add it by carefully adjusting the little knob on my SWCG! 
I use a Rubbermaid style 2 quart pitcher. It has marks for quarts, liters, and half marks as well. I took a Sharpie and made marks for individual cups (up to 8) as well for when I need to add acid.
I tend to add about 1 quart of 10.5% per day. I've been adding a bit more due to all the rain we've been having.

To those of you who responded that you measure your MA, please be careful. It is very dangerous stuff. Consider estimating quantities IMHO.
For MA, I highly recommend the ez chem spout. My PB gave me one when he started my pool and it makes pouring acid much easier.

Pcool: Do you stand and pour with that spout?
My method: I check the wind and choose the deep-end jet where I will be upwind. For a new bottle, I use a knife to carefully open the inner seal and then rinse the knife right away. I kneel and submerse the bottle almost to the opening. I make sure I'm wearing glasses and then hold my breath. I tilt the bottle slightly and pour. There is only an inch or two of "stream" that way. No splash and fumes are minimal. I used to wear gloves too, but I've gotten the technique down.

I am walking as I pour but bent over so that the spout is as close to the water as possible. If it is really windy, I wait until the wind dies down.
