Meter is seemingly the american spelling, it's also spelled meter in many european countries e.g. germany, netherlands

Metr in Czech.

We just have to be special. :-D

Nah, it's like that on most (all?) Slavic languages. It's метр in Russian for example which is exactly metr just in Cyrillic.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
