**** Usage notes
- Whereas the spelling of the unit of length varies between British ( _metre_ ) and American ( _meter_ ) English, the spelling of this suffix is _-meter_ in both. [en] is a nonstandard alternative form found in British English.
- Words with the suffix _- O meter_ always have a primary stress on the antepenultimate syllable: _ba ROM eter_ , _spee DOM eter_ , _ta CHOM eter_ , etc. Words derived from _meter_ (or _metre_ ) with a prefix usually have a primary stress on the first syllable: _CEN timeter_ , _MIL limeter_ , etc.
