Styles change: there's a tendency in

Not to mention some cultures change how words are spelt: colour, odour, metres to quote a few.

But don't fret. Some people pronounce the word for 1,000 metres as a measure of kills - kil-ometer. It should be kilo-metre. To support my agruement, try speedometer, gasometer, odometer.
