Les sources ne s'entendent pas sur le genre du mot «acre». La plupart des grands dictionnaires français récents privilégient le féminin, alors que d'autres donnent les deux genres. Au Canada, l'usage a une préférence marquée pour le masculin, qui n'est pas à rejeter : cet emploi est attesté dans certains ouvrages canadiens, dans des dictionnaires français plus anciens, et il constitue un vestige du dialecte normand, où «acre» était du genre masculin. 3, record 3, French, - acre
