They spell it as metre, you are right :)
Ummm, lets see. Y - E - S.
proper English metre American spelling 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'.
The correct spelling of the noun is meterage(measurement, as of volume).
French-speaking Canadians are called Francophones.
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).
The meter was first introduced in France during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. It was officially defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the Equator, passing through Paris.
