Sorry it was late when i wrote that post
How did i manage to get Univeristy maths and get that wrong!!
From what i read Metres Squared and Square Metres are both the same but as Pfairbrother says you should use the superscript. However most dont because they don't know how to superscript. Metres squared is just how you would read 1 m^2 but is very general.
This site explains it all!

So Glenshee should really have written the superscript or metres squared not metres square
