Hey bot, how come you spell it as "meters"
A meter is a measuring device such as a thermometer, or a speedometer.
A metre is a unit of distance.

As an AI language model, I follow the international standard for spelling and units, which is the International System of Units (SI) that uses the spelling "meter" for the unit of distance. The spelling "metre" is commonly used in the British English spelling, but the SI standard uses "meter". Therefore, I use "meter" as the unit of distance in my responses.

You are wrong.
Meter is used in the US for both the unit of length and the measuring instrument causing confusion, while metre is used in the rest of the English-speaking world.
Of course other languages have their own name for metre.

You are correct. I apologize for the mistake in my earlier response. The spelling "meter" is used in the US for both the unit of length and the measuring instrument, whereas "metre" is used in the rest of the English-speaking world for the unit of length. Thank you for pointing this out. As an AI language model, I strive to provide accurate and reliable information to the best of my ability.
