Why is this? the british guy who owns the place where my mom works is a giant redneck who hunts, listens to country music and wears nothing but camo and hunting and guy harvey shirts. i didn't even know it was possible to love redneck culture without actually being from the south.

"Maths" is pretty dumb. You say "mathematics is interesting" not "mathematics are interesting" so why act like it's plural all of a sudden when you abbreviate it

MrWilderheap posted:"Maths" is pretty dumb. You say "mathematics is interesting" not "mathematics are interesting" so why act like it's plural all of a sudden when you abbreviate it because 'mathematics' in long form was originally referred to a plural phrase because it came from an even longer form which was 'mathematical sciences' where 'mathematical' was an adjective and the plural of the 'sciences' part eventually got transferred over to the 'mathematical' part to give us 'mathematics' because people were too lazy to say such a long phrase all the time or something. the mathematical sciences at that time included not just geometry etc but physics and stuff--anything that involved geometrical reasoning. when each mathematical science became its own independent discipline essentially distinct from the physical sciences the plural form stuck and so we still have 'mathematics'--but now the plural better reflects the different sub-disciplines within mathematics because there is more to mathematics now than just geometry. the term 'mathematic' in the singular was used up until the end of the 17th century to draw attention to the unity of mathematics as opposed to its diversity but that fell out of use and became obsolete, but then the victorians tried to bring it back again but it was so gay that everyone ignored them. so nobody says 'mathematic' anymore but some still have that hold over from its original adjectival form 'math' and/or its later noun use to reflect the unity of mathematical reasoning and so they say 'math' in abbreviated form but 'mathematics' long form. so both are right but i say 'maths' because i was brought up to say it that way.

The British have a respect for the history and lineage of things, including language. The American has no respect for anything other than where their next McDonalds meal is coming from, and has simplified the glory that is the Queens English in the pursuit of creating some mongrel language wiped clean of any character.
