Is the correct spelling ''kilometer'' or ''kilometer''?
It all depends upon what you mean by "correct". The spelling used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures is "kilometre". However, the spelling "kilometer" is far more commonly used in the United States of America. (The same applies to metre/meter, millimetre/millimeter, etc.) The best advice is therefore to use whichever spelling better fits the context: "kilometer" in an exclusively US context, "kilometre" in an international or worldwide context. +++ ' Spelling "metre" and its compounds in that way retains and respects their French origin. Essentially, in UK English, a metre is a measure and a meter measures!
