Re: When did people start saying Maths instead of Math or Mathematics?
That one is midly humorous. What I hate is when people leave of the word "the," as in:

"I dropped my kid off at university." or "I may need to go to hospital."

It's fucking infuriating to me.

When I took Algebra, people said "Math."

When I studied differential geometry, people said "Maths."

When you start getting up there, the smarties like that "s."

June 17, 2013 - about the same date that "as f*#k" became an acceptable English comparison and sounds equally stupid.

Although, the bastardization of the english language began a new wave of acceleration when "spork" entered the lexicon.

Probably short for math problems, the assigned homework. Example, ‘I got all my maths done for tomorrow.’

No it has always been maths... IF IF you were raised that way... and the same is true of others as well.

For others it has always been math... because they were raised that way.

Things will always sound strange if it is different than what was taught in foundational years...

You are not right, but you are also not wrong.

Here in this country... East coast... If someone has to empty all the trash cans at work... The boss just says you have to empty trash...

Now in the South West... A boss will say you have to empty the trashes...

I made the mistake of telling an employee to empty the trash... and they emptied the trash can that was closest to us when I asked then to do so.

It was a fun day... we all laughed. We realized if you have a group of white trashy people... What do you say... Oh, look at those white trashes?... or look at that white trash?... lol We didn't really mean it though. We we're just being goofy.

Think about this though... cactus, cacti... asparagus, asparagi... octopus, octopi... penis, ???? Hmmm...

Bwahhhhhhh ha ha ha
