Title :
Metric terms: -er or -re?
Abstract :
ANMC (American National Metric Council), has spent considerable effort and some funds in trying to establish consistent spelling for the basic measures of length (meter/metre) and volume (liter/litre). Here is a set of arguments that was prepared by a task force of ANMC to indicate the reasoning on both sides of the question.
