Han is possibly in bed at this time. It's kilometer. The following sentence is from the page at: http://web.hengeveld.com/dutch/ (Integral Dutch Course).
"Hij heeft verleden jaar duizenden kilometers gefietst." All I had to do was a Google search for "Dutch spelling of kilometer." It yielded several consistent references. I believe most of the SI terms are the same in Dutch as in German (except that the initial letter is lower-case in Dutch). Han will be able to confirm or refute that when he gets up in the morning.

Dear Han, What is the acceptable spelling of kilometre in the Nederlands? Is it kilometre or kilometer? Thanks for your help.
