Or metric tonne? Don't worry, the spelling is different, so you can count on that to encode your unit information. Authors of scientific papers always pay attention to proper spelling/ grammar so you'll never have to worry! /s
I once read a paper that had mixed units (unfortunately common in my field), and the author was very lazy about throwing the words ton and tonne around with zero care. I had to carefully examine every instance of the word with it's context to make sure I was getting the right information. I still haven't quite recovered from that experience.
