5 desert spoons sugar

First off I'm sure you meant "dessert spoons". But here's where I got lost; What's a dessert spoon?

In my minimal cooking/baking experience I have to grit my teeth and admit that I had never heard this term before.

A quick Google search turned up this:

***A dessert spoon is a spoon on the scale of a soup spoon, but with a pointed rather than rounded bowl, in a similar manner to a tablespoon or teaspoon. It is commonly but not exclusively used in eating desserts, since a teaspoon may also be used for this.

It is not to be confused with the tablespoon, which is used for serving.***

I'm still in a quandary. Can someone put this in to terms I can work with? Such as 1 dessert spoon = 1.75856 teaspoons?

Or do I need to buy yet another measuring device.

I need help!
