Are measuring tape and tape measure interchangeable in the US and the UK? Or is one of them more common than the other?

In the UK tape measure is the norm, but you can use either and be understood

In the USA, I hear them used interchangeably- I usually say tape measure (it's faster) and Americans like word economy. Hope this helps
