OMG there are other countries besides the US?
by Anonymous13 years ago
Yeah. Most of them are a lot better. You should check them out sometime.

next you're gonna tell me that there was some kind of war that involved these 'countries' that was provoked by a man with a weird mustache.

Well, I guess since the correct term is Mathematics, the short version would be maths but the U.S. likes to come up with things like their own nonsensical metric system to seem better than everyone else.
by Anonymous13 years ago
No... the short version of MATHematics would probably be... well... math. No need to take the s from the end and tack it on...
But alrighty.

We're not the only country who uses that system...

How many of you people that hate Americans have actually been to Amercia? Or know an American? Or met an American? Let me guess, you're getting your negative image of Americans from the media.

I am an American, living in America. I can honestly say this place sucks shit.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Well. How much of America have you actually SEEN? Every country's got it's goods and bads...
by Anonymous13 years ago
I've seen America up and down. I've lived from Boston MA to Alabama. I've seen pretty much all of it.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Right because you know we can totally just forget about the entire west, just because you've lived in two states doesn't mean you've, "Pretty much see all of it."

Asshole, I said "from". Implying more than two.

Now why did you have to call me an asshole? You should be able to handle and argument without resorting to namecalling.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I'm sorry, looks like I'm not nearly as able to handle an argument as you are. Thanks for your input.

Then how do you know any other country is better?
by Anonymous13 years ago
@968130 (plotbunnyhunter): It's like you're not even letting this person speak their opinion by saying they don't like the USA. You're not going to convince them by saying "you haven't even seen all of it!" If they don't like it, they don't like it.
by Anonymous13 years ago
It's nearly impossible to change anyone's opinion about anything, but that doesn't mean that people won't debate. They have every right to state their opinion, and I have the right to argue that it's pretty hard to hate every single aspect of an entire country.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I'm not sure you realise that the US bought out the rest a long time ago.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Clearly this case, like most, shows that American English is usually a simplified version. Removing letters or replacing them with ones that suit the sound you make when you say it.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Oh, and just to add to the argument....why do americans feel the need to take the "u" out of every freakin word? Its fineas it is....leave it.

In America, it's math. In South Africa and presumably the rest of the world, it's maths. It also makes a lot more sense so say maths, because it's short for mathematics not mathematic.

or was that also part of your dialect?

Also plus, minus, and times are not verbs.

The full word is mathematics so therefore maths, but I have no problem with either way it is said.
by Anonymous13 years ago
full version is mathematics, if someone is going to shorten it its MATHematics, not MATHematicS
by Anonymous13 years ago
Your welcome, but I'm still wondering why you called me that.
by Anonymous13 years ago
It's mathematics not mathematic, idiots...
by Anonymous13 years ago
the short version of chemistry is chem, not chemy, the short version of biology is bio, not bio-y.
by Anonymous13 years ago
That's because it's one biology and one chemistry, not biologies/chemistries(then it'd be bios or chems).
It's mathematics. It's more than one mathematic, therefore it's maths and not math.

(Your+name+(optional)): youre right, thats probably why this post has such a poor score...

Cause it's full of americans who think they're better than the british.

I've never understood why people say maths. It's like a hillbilly with a lisp trying to sound smart.
