What’s a cubic ton?
Is that like making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?
It's a poor translation on my part.
Cubic tonne of metal would probably make more sense. But there is nothing cubic really in a car so I don't know why I choose this wording.
As far as I know an heavy car is close to 1000Kg which is a Tonne in the metric system.
Cubic is a measure of volume, not mass.
Cubic isn't a measure at all, it's a shape.
I don't think I said it was a mass.
I meant cubic as in cube shaped?
Super pedantic edit:
Now that I think about it cubic isn't really a measure of volume :
"cubic" on its own is not a measure of volume. It is an adjective that describes something related to a cube or three-dimensional space, but it requires a unit of length to provide a meaningful measure of volume.
A cubic metre of water weighs a tonne.
If fresh water, at sea level, under certain barometric conditions and a temperature of 4 degrees, at the equator.
I'm just noticing that metre is the correct spelling in English.
Isn't "meter" the commonly used translation?
I realize it must not be commonly used anyway with the imperial system being used in the US.
“Meter" and "metre" are both correct spellings of the word that refers to a unit of measurement in the metric system:
"Meter" is the preferred spelling in American English, while "metre" is preferred in British English and other forms of English outside the United States.
What’s your point?
His point is that you have it backwards:
"Metre" is the preferred spelling in British English, while "meter" is preferred in American English and other forms of English outside the UK.
Who’s point?
Buddy, if you can't follow a thread, there's probably no one here who can help you.
Metre is the standard spelling of the metric unit for length in nearly all English-speaking nations, the exceptions being the United Statesand the Philippines which use meter.
Also India, Canada, and Australia
Not sure where your information is from, but in Australia I see “metre” way more often than “meter”. Weird how your stat exactly matched Canada as well.
British English is the correct form, but American culture seeps into every facet of the world’s culture.
I know Canadian friends who spell colour and honour without the ‘u.’
Some guy who uses he/him pronouns. Drag isn't sure who that would be
Drag on, drag.
