PWB said:Since "metre" is a french word, I think the americans are the only ones getting it wrong. It's re up here too.
Now that I think about it, you guys spell a LOT of things wrong..........
wood_newbie said:Soooooory..."meter" comes all the way back from Old English (through Middle English) to modern English untouched. The Anglo-French term has always been spelled "metre," though. Both derive from the latin "metrum" and the Greek "metron," and both are equally correct.
Now DON'T MAKE US COME UP THERE!!! :biggrinbounce2:
p.s. Cause if we HAVE to, we're going to change the pronunciation of "Ottawa" to "Washington!"

It's metre here in England. I have a gas "Meter" that says how much gas (not petrol) I have used and have to pay for.

Seems to me the LAST time you guys tried that, you got chased all the way back to Washington and the white house went up in smoke.........
Or don't they teach that part of your history down there?
