Metre is the standard spelling of the metric unit for length in nearly all English-speaking nations, the exceptions being the United States and the Philippines which use meter. Measuring devices (such as ammeter, speedometer) are spelled “-meter” in all variants of English.

Bushel and peck are both measures of volume; liter/litre is a measure of volume, but meter/metre is a measure of distance.

The metric system has at its core the imperial system. If you don’t believe me, try to buy a metric ratchet.

A peck on the cheek has a nice ring to it. Then there could be a liter on the lips or a meter on the mouth. But what would we do with bushel?

There was a big push to convert the U.S. to the metric system in the late 70s, which, of course, ultimately failed, so this was a timely gag.
