They spell it as metre, you are right :)
Ummm, lets see. Y - E - S.
proper English metre American spelling meter
It's French. That's why they spell it METRE, not meter.A meter is an instrument for measuring things.A metre is a standard unit of metric length.Comment: I'm British, but Americans spell it (correctly in their "English") as "meter".
The US spelling is meter. The French spelling used in Canada is metre.
In British English, the word 'meter' describes a measuring device, such as 'electricity meter', 'gas meter', speedometer', etc. The metric unit for length, however, is spelt 'metre'.
French speaking Canadians are called Canadians. English speaking Canadians are called Canadians. Canadians are Canadians.
The correct spelling of the noun is meterage(measurement, as of volume).
That is the correct spelling of the SI unit "decimeter" (1/10 of a meter).
metreAnswerIn British English, 'metre' is the unit of measurement for length, whereas 'meter' means a measuring instrument (for example, 'wattmeter', 'ammeter', etc.).So, in British English, therefore, a micrometer is a device for making accurate engineering measurements, whereas a micrometre is a millionth of a metre.
One vowel further: the correct spelling is millimeters(thousandths of a meter).
