Mathematics is plural because it is the collection of all the various math disciplines, not a plural of plurals. Them furriners just talks funny.

It's maths because it's an abbreviation of mathematics.

That is all!

footfootfoot · 12-23-2008, 10:11 PM

Those are all. There are more than one math, right?

Aliantha · 12-24-2008, 02:22 AM

It's all called maths because all streams are covered under the one heading over here.

It's not the same as the US.

That's all.

Just don't cross the streams. That would be very bad.

Well done boys.

That's cute, but why are they getting the award from George Bush?

That's Pat Purcell. He recently had to 'resign' because he thought it'd be ok to smack a couple of his staff over the back of the head.

I wish he wasn't in the picture.

My kids need guidance. Three of them. This is my "good girl." The other two are reprobates.

Guidance, you say? I know a bloke, recently out of work, experienced at slapping heads...

Shame on you, buying booze when the child has no shoes.

I spent 14 days in Mexico last month looking exactly like that.
