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 Francophones.
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).
