And the other error present is the incorrect pluralisation. Mathematica means the entire area or domain of knowledge, while mathematics sounds like several lines of thinking, which is weird when we use it as a singular. Maths doesn’t refer to several kinds of math, and that’s confusing.
Ok, but the British also shortened television and made it tele. That makes sense because they took part of the word to do it. If you were going to shorten the word mathematics, why wouldn’t it be math, especially when that would follow what you did with television. Why shorten the word and then add the s from the end for no reason?
Television isn’t a plural word tho? And if they were talking about more than one television I feel like they would absolutely say teles (tellies?), altho not British so 🤷♂️
I don’t understand why people say Maths. Math encompasses every single type of Math. Maths is just wrong.
Because it’s British English
That may be, but Math still encompasses all Math so there’s no need to pluralize it.
The discipline is “mathematics.” It’s really not unreasonable that in some parts of the world, it got shortened to maths.

Mathematics.
And British English is wrong. Those motherfuckers stick “u” into way too many words.
Anymore of this disrespect and I’ll stick “u” into an early grave.

I feel obligated to say English that comes from England is the only real English. You can keep your Americanese.
American English is closer to how it used to be spoken
And apparently ass is arse
I’ll have you find that there’s more Americans and statistically likely to have more “motherfuckers” in america
What is math short for?
Mathollomew
Maths stands for
Mathmallow
It’s a shortened form of mathematics, build a bridge and get over it
