> So a device that measures a volume of liquid should be called a liter, but the measured volume should be measured in litres?
Liter would be pronounced like lighter.
For sure you don't pronounce these pens as "hi-lee-ters". Litre has only one pronunciation and can not be mistaken.

Your spelling makes this add confusing:

Are they implying the lighter holds a litre of fluid or the lighter is liter (lite-er) in weight? I would think someone like you would promote logic and not confusion.
>Your continued harping on this point only drives Americans away from the metric system, and makes it look more "foreign." The government has a greater ability to influence than we do as individuals. Rowing in an opposite direction just makes the boat go nowhere. Sure, we have freedom of speech (and spelling) but wasting it on something inconsequential is just silly, especially if it decreases support for one's cause.
Absolute BS. I have never, never, never, heard anyone ever claimed they were turned off to metric because metre and litre is spelled with an -re. In the same manner that no one boycotts going to the "theatre" or to a shopping centre.
Never have I encountered a metric hating article claiming metric is foreign because metre and litre are spelled with -re. Have you? I've only encountered this claim by some USMA members, but without proof. Americans consider the metric system French or European and hate the metric system for a plethora of reasons, none of them relating to spelling.
"Metric ton" is another one of those illogical spellings. It makes the unit name longer and assumes tons with out the metric prefix are "standard". It gives metric haters another excuse to hate the metric system by propagating units that have bigger words with more letters.
At least tonne is only two extra letters and distinguishes the meaning as 1000 kg. Metric ton more often than not is shortened to ton as is short ton and long ton and you have no idea which is intended.
>If they spell it meter and liter, that's good enough for me.
It isn't good enough for me. I don't care for metric innumerate types making such a decision. In my view they do it to make the metric system look confusing and illogical and use this illogical aspect to continuously mock it.
> Rowing in an opposite direction just makes the boat go nowhere.
Insisting on logical spelling has no effect on which direction the boat is rowing. Indecision by Congress, Luddites running the media, schools teaching metric as a "convert to USC when encountered", industry that is split and engaging in constant battles, Luddites running NASA, etc are all the real reason the boat is going nowhere. All you are doing by making this a negative issue is supporting American exceptionalism. American exceptionalism gets us nowhere.
