Do Europeans spell it "centre" only when it's a place? Or is the dot in the
middle of a circle the "centre" as well? Isn't it "metre" instead of "meter"
in Europe as well? And if so, is it the same for a unit of measurement as for
a gauge, or a measuring instrument?
Just wondering.
P.S.- usually I just hit the reply button and let fly, but today I
experimented with changing the newsgroup field to off-topic.fun. I'm doing
this with a web browser. Did I do right?
