Center and Centre are interchangeable. They mean the same. Although Canadian I use the American center, liter and kilometer; to me it makes sense. Spell it like it sounds. In Canada we still buy lumber 2 x 4 in 8 ft lengths and sheets 4 x 8. We need two set of wrenches Imperial and Metric. Should have stayed with US units as America is our largest trading partner.

Albert Einstein -----Original Message----- For what it's worth, metric units outside of the US are often spelled differently. For example, "litre" rather than the US-spelt "liter", or "kilometre" rather than the US term "kilometer". A "meter" is a device on an instrument panel! This is likely a UK or European holdover. Similarly, in Canada, when talking about a "center" (US), we write it as "centre". A "centre" is a place or an institution, for example a community centre, or a university research centre. "Center" means the middle of something, like the center of a photograph or the center of a line. Just my two cents on this off-topic but interesting discussion! 73, Kevin VE7ZD --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
