The spelling.

Seriously, that's it. They're two different spellings of the same word.

Nobody actually uses it regardless of spelling as a serious unit of measure anymore, because nobody knows what it's supposed to be. It's 1/8 ounce in one system and 1/16 ounce in another system, and then there are fluid drams, which are different (about 3/4 of a teaspoon), and ...

It mainly survives in the phrase "a wee dram", meaning "a little (alcoholic) drink, especially whisky."
