[edit] British English?
Why british english... from my understanding most of the articles are in the US or at least in international english... Beta_M talk, |contrib (Ë-Mail)
- I do not know what the author intended by this, but it is my opinion that, since most Americans don't use the metric system, but rather the Standard system, the correct British term should be used. Why should we use an American spelling for something that most Americans dont use? Firestorm 02:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- And in addition to the above rebuttal, the metre was originally a French unit. So we use the French spelling. Remember, "metre" is a unit but "meter" is a machine that measures (voltmeter, speedometer, and lots of other examples). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stuart Morrow (talk • contribs) 19:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] 8th Grade Opinion
We're learning about m/s/s in the eighth grade here, and here would be America. We don't use the metric system [though we should here] but in my physical science book it is noted as "meter per second per second" or "meter per second squared".
