      I’m just noticing that metre is the correct spelling in English.

      Isn’t “meter” the commonly used translation?

      I realize it must not be commonly used anyway with the imperial system being used in the US.

        “Meter" and “metre” are both correct spellings of the word that refers to a unit of measurement in the metric system:

        “Meter” is the preferred spelling in American English, while “metre” is preferred in British English and other forms of English outside the United States.
