I would like to add here that all spellings are considered acceptable. It
is only in the use of the >sysmbols where uniformity is required.
The question is NOT of acceptability; BUT that of respecting the force that
went behind Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites. It is the cohence of
following of all 'Units & Symbols' that I urge/ argue for be followed - by
every country irrespective of its dilect, so far as the spellings in SI
usage are concered.
Meter, metre; liter, litre...it doesn't matter. As long as the SI is
used.
This shall leave the options open for NOT respecting the dictums of
'Convention du Metre', I feel.

America; and let the think ask themselves: why is that America insists in
using the 'old American spellings' for Litre & Metre rather than fall in
line with Le Systeme International d'Unites.
It's not just the US that spells litre and metre in a "local" manner.
eg. Germany spell litre and metre in the same way America does.
