Metric 1000kg is a tonne. There is no metric "ton".

Both spellings are correct as far as I'm aware. Like how we call it the metric system and not système international d'unités, you can translate terms into your native language if desired.

If you want to be pedantic, do it elsewhere, because I honestly do not give a single shit.
