Kilometre

[bluemoon1]

Is it pronounced
kill om mitter or killer meter?

[sunny-dave]

According to Chambers, either is acceptable.

[ummmm]

I think the answer is in the actual spelling.

[Old_Geezer]

Any way you fancy.

[Flonska]

Oxford Dictionaries say either "kill oh meater" or "kill om itter"

[bluemoon1]

How does the spelling give the answer Ummm?

[jackthehat]

Keel o meater :o)

[AuntLydia]

I say KILL-om-etter, prominence on the 'kill'

[AuntLydia]

The gift that just keeps on giving...;-)

[diddlydo]

Either.

keelow-metrah

[sanmac]

About half a mile.

[bednobs]

i say kill - om - eater

[kvalidir]

I just realised I use both interchangeably, what a weirdo :)

[Calibax]

KIL-o-meter would make most sense as it matches the way we
pronounce CENT-i-metre NAN-o-metre and other units of length.
The pronunciation *-OM-eter is usually reserved for measuring
devices like therMOMeter etc.

[dave50]

I don't bother, I stick with miles. Unlike the BBC who are obsessed with all metric measurements.

[sanmac]

Same, dave50. That's more less what I said at 1210.
