  -> Thanks, Lamberto!
neutral  Beth Farkas: I would always say "tape measure" - "measuring tape" sounds awkward to me

  -> Perhaps it's more UK usage - I'm English - but I use both
agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Actually, I say "measuring tape," not "tape measure," and I'm American. ["measuring tape"] = 630,000 references -- it's hardly wrong!!
