In this case, English (compared to American English) is closer to the
original "metron" [1].  Now, if only you people wrote the plural of
"parenthesis" as "parentheseis" and not "parentheses", that would ease a
lot my Greek English... :)

[1] through the French "mètre" of course; great job, those
revolutionaries did with the metric system.  As Asimov put it, "how many
inches to the mile?"
