Meter is seemingly the american spelling, it's also spelled meter in many european countries e.g. germany, netherlands

Metr in Czech.

We just have to be special. :-D

Nah, it's like that on most (all?) Slavic languages. It's метр in Russian for example which is exactly metr just in Cyrillic.

Why would we use the American spelling if they don’t like the unit
