I would like to add here that all spellings are considered acceptable. It is
only in the use of the sysmbols where uniformity is required.
Meter, metre; liter, litre...it doesn't matter. As long as the SI is used.

America; and let the think ask themselves: why is that America insists in
using the 'old American spellings' for Litre & Metre rather than fall in
line with Le Systeme International d'Unites.
It's not just the US that spells litre and metre in a "local" manner.
eg. Germany spell litre and metre in the same way America does.
