What is the basic unit of measure in the metric system for length?

Answer 1

Its meter! Not metre!

No, this is simply not the case at all. The "meter" is actually what we call an Americanism (America has basically changed the original spelling). The original (and still correct) spelling for that unit of length is the metre.

Language use will change over time, true. But metre is at least as valid a way of spelling the unit of length as the American method.
