From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [USMA:40866] Re: meterDate: Thu, 8 May 2008 21:50:21 +0100 Writing as a Brit, I suppose that this is a case of “When in Rome …” (well half-way, don’t get into the habit of using customary/colonial/imperial units. As regards the using the word “metre” or “meter”, I prefer using “metre” as a measure of distance, whiel a “meter” is a thing that has a needle on it. A metre meter would be a device that measures distance.

"Metre" looks foreign andmultiplies the likelihood that our opinion will be dismissed as alien.I realize that many of us are obsessive-compulsive and are averse to the USspelling. Nevertheless, my perspective as an editor in the USA is that theFranco-British spelling hurts our cause. -- "The boy is dangerous, they all sense it why can't you?"(\__/) (='.'=)This is Bunny.
