It’s math! Math! Maths just sounds stupid like saying “sheeps”. Or teeths.

Here I am where everyone says maths and they sound retard to me but tell me I’m the retard stubborn difficult American!

Tried to look it up and everything says that it’s “geographical” which is code for “stupid americans”

I agree. I never hears such a peculiar expression until recently.

It sounds like they are trying to convince people there is another kind of math, in which two plus two equals three, or five.

Which math do you prefer?

There is only one math.

Exactly. All math is math. Mathematics is too many syllables and trying to say maths is difficult on my tongue.

No there isn't. There is arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, statistics, calculus....

There are many kinds of math. Funny thing is here in the US we do a very good job of segregating these different kinds of math (by how they are taught) and yet we also just leave math as singular.
