[MrSardonic]

no wonder the English are not known for engineering prowess! :lol

Someone should have paid attention in history class

Wow...And I thought we in the US had cornered the market on stupid terms.

You have, hence why you refer to the plural with the abbreviation of the singular. Mathematic = math, mathematics = maths.

 

[Mashing]

I would just like to state for the record that it is not possible to butcher math as much as I did eariler in this thread. I take PRIDE in that...

*cries himself to sleep*

Pshaw! After saying "hence," the word "why" is redundent, making its usage there incorrect.

 

[monkeyrun]

this got to be the best thread ever :lol :lol
the sales data, the emotions, the photoshops, the Kirbies, last but not least the english lessons

 

[polg]

I knew these

<('.'< ) <( '.' )>(>'o')> (^'.'^)

Sorry, but "maths" is one of the dumbest terms this world has ever seen. On par with "metrosexual" and "labradoodle"...

Which is why these threads shouldn't be put in the archive until they're dead. The copy of this thread in the Sales Archive is only 221 posts long. People just don't listen to me.

 

[Roders5]

Its a very common word here, no one has ever complained about it or said it isnt correct to use. Although surely we can do what we want with the language we made.

... in England, we do more than one sum.

How is US Math class? Once you've solved 6 = y - 2, is that it done?

 

[Red Blaster]

In good ol' Amurica, y = 8 and it's THE sum.

 

[Jive Turkey]

In the US we read more than one book yet it is still literature class. Please tell me you don't call it "literatures"

We also have biology class where we study more than one living organism. We don't call it "biologies".

So you call mathamatics mathamatic?

The point they are making is the short fort of a longer plural word is also plural. Literature nor biology are plural to begin with.

That's what happens when you restructure a post and don't proof-read.

No, it is the plural of the abbreviation of mathematic

They are not comparable terms. You are basically arguing that the word "mathematics" is stupid, when clearly it isnt, you are

 

[PhoenixDark]

Kirby is the mascot of the Homosexual Agenda. Cursed Canvas is far more dangerous than any hot coffe.

[Fuzzy]

So how many more directions can this thread go?

There are several words in the English language that are the same in both singular and plural. Math is one of them. And not I'm not arguing "mathematics" is a stupid word. I'm arguing that your derivative "maths" is.

P.S -- No need to sling insults.

 

[GaimeGuy]

fixed.

 

[Kon Tiki]

fixed.

You forgot to fix the fort. Now we all die.

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Do people in the US really say "Mathematic"?!

 

[clearacell]

Boxing Kirby is the only good one:

O-('.'Q)

wanna fight?

(O'_')-O Q(-_-Q)

 

[Roders5]

So how many more directions can this thread go?

So if Kirby is a bollock, who do you think is the other one of the pair?

 

[Mama Smurf]

This thread got...interesting.

The terrible biologies and literatures example really tops it I reckon.

I've heard several math and CS profs use it during lectures, and I've seen it in several texts.

Oh, and how about those DS numbers?

 

[PhoenixDark]

You guys are all wrong with respect to math.

It's called the digits now.

 

[Version 3.0]

That's too long. We should call it "dig" or "digs". Let's argue about which one.
