I didn't either, and am glad to know. At least I think ton and tonne are spelled differently. I'm American so can't say for sure.

- Miraste 4y agoThat's a separate, third kind of ton (hurray standards!). The tonne is a metric measurement for 1000kg. American and UK tons are different amounts, but spelled the same way. They're known as short ton and long ton respectively. America also uses the long ton and the metric tonne for some applications without differentiating the names at all.
