Single inverted commas

Although it is usual to enclose a word under discussion in single inverted commas, I have chosen instead to emphasise it in red to prevent confusion with apostrophes.
These posts are always short and clear so that they can be read easily on a mobile if you follow by email (the red may not show, however!) This is completely free.

METER and METRE

Both these words are concerned with measuring.
A meter is the object that counts how much gas or electricity etc you have used.
Metre is the method of making sure that each line of a formal poem is the right length and rhythm. To help you to remember the spelling, think of the term metrical poetry.
