Which is the correct English ? Thank you for your help. -dileep.k Dileepk Joined on Sat, Oct 22 2005 India New Member 35 Where there is a Hero, there is a Way.

	YoungCalifornian  +  181966 Thu, 12 Jan 06 08:31 AM The spelling "ton" is typically used to describe a measure of weight equal to 2000 pounds in the US (also called the "short ton") or  2240 pounds in the UK (also called the "long ton").  In contrast, the spelling "tonne" is typically used to describe the metric unit equal to 1000 kilograms.  In the case of your invoices, "tonne" seems more appropriate.
