Correct. The spellings "meter", "liter", "gramme", and their derivatives are not considered normative. Also "deka" is not considered normative. I believe that the alternate spellings are generally considered acceptable, however.
(s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol) and candela (cd). http://www.bipm.fr/en/si/base_units/pico, nano, milli, centi, kilo, mega, etc. are metric abbreviations - not SI abbreviations.

Wrong, the prefixes are part of SI: http://www.bipm.fr/en/si/prefixes.html
Well, actually, they are both, I guess, unless one considers
the metric system to be obsoleted or superceded. Hmm. Maybe
not nano. I'm pretty sure pico was brought in by SI and is
not also metric.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
