[QUOTE=benzinxrm;22054666]That was the best video tonight[/QUOTE]
Thank you.
The "Look around you" series has some other funny videos.
Back on topic, in American math is the proper term.
But, with the way many languages/people rape their respective language, it can go either way.
The black kids in my class call it "Maff or Maffs"
I simply cannot pronounce the suffix -ths, so I have to stick with math.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;22053666]Maths is the contracted version of [b]Math[/b]ematic[B]s[/B] the same way Stats is the contraction of [B]Stat[/B]istic[B]s[/B].[/QUOTE]
Statistics are more than one statistic. Mathematics isn't more than one mathematic.
Maths. Because Americans can't say "s"
After reading through the posts, the word "math" has begun to lose all meaning.
mm I don't know, I usually write 'maths' but I usually say 'math'.
it's probably because if I would pronounce the 's', it would sould liks 'mafs' or like 'math-s (so with a short break after de 'th')' and that would sound weird.
european bytheway
[QUOTE=greendevil;22053861]Don't British people have a hard time saying the letter "r"?[/QUOTE]
You might be thinking of "h". No difficulty pronouncing it though, we just don't bother :v:
Maths sounds like something one of your dumbass 4channer friends would say. I use math, though maths is correct anywhere but in America. Then again so is the metric system. :/
Does it really matter?

My british Computer Science teacher would give me so much shit for saying math that I now say maths.
