From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [USMA:41727] metre or meterDate: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:25:08 +1000From time to time over the last 30 or so years I have heard of a 'gentlemen's agreement' where the USA would accept the -re in metre as a quid pro quo for Britain's giving up the -me on kilogramme. I'm thinking that this would have happened in the 1970s. Does anyone know anything about such an agreement.
