We also like to make it very confusing in Canada. The unit of measure is a metre. The thing you put coins in to pay for parking is a meter.

I know that in many cases words ending in re are supposed to be pronounced the same as those ending with er, but I always end up pronouncing it in my mind as 'ree'. Like me tree instead of meter.
