What does TONNE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A metric unit of mass equal to one thousand kilograms.
A tonne is close in size to, but not identical with, the older imperial ton, which is why careful writing distinguishes the metric tonne from other units simply called ton. Shipping, agriculture and industry all rely on the tonne to measure large quantities, from grain harvests to the weight of steel produced at a mill. The word is spelled tonne in British and international usage, while American English generally keeps the spelling ton for the same metric quantity, adding to the possibility of confusion. Because a tonne is so much larger than everyday objects, it is rarely used to describe anything a single person could lift alone.
