TONNE
Etymology
Noun

A metric unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms. Symbol: t
Synonyms: metric ton, megagram
(colloquial, darts) A score of 100.
Usage notes
A tonne (about 2204.6 pounds) is not exactly the same as a long ton (2240 pounds). Because "ton" and "tonne" usually have the same pronunciation, the phrase "metric ton" is frequently used for "tonne" where disambiguation is required.
In the 1970s the British steel industry promoted the pronunciation /ˈtʌni/ ("tunnie") to help avoid confusion. The pronunciation /tɒn/ has also been used for the same reason.
