Fans of mathematics. Do you like math? Or do you you like maths?

Everything is to be doubted, I'm not sure who wrote that though.

I'm no expert when it comes to mathematics, but I can assure you that 100% of people don't think kittens are cute.

Don't they use math in Canada, too?

You guys are so funny with your little slights.

So funny in fact I am converted. I shall only ever use math from here on. However I prefer using the full term; I can't wait until I get to say "I really enjoy the fact I do a lot of mathmatic in my job".

Crikey!

I was once thinking of studying musicology, but decided against it. Anyone else here have an ear for musicy? Or just a big fan of musicy?

2dimes, aren't you a musician? What's your FAV genre of musicy?

Does your job involve counting sheep? Because you're boring. And you're from New Zealand. And there are a lot of sheep there. And you're talking about maths. Sometimes people count sheep so they can fall asleep. I think your New Zealand job involves counting sheep using mathematics. Then you go to sleep in boring New Zealand.

Correct, but my job title is "Senior Ovis-Ruminant Quantification Engineer" which makes me sound smart so yin and yan...

[Symmetry]

Correct

Maths is correct in the majority of countries,Math has become the popular usage in one,there may be more but I am unaware of them.It's just how language evolves..

What's up with Canadian English? The kids here who've learnt from Canadian-written curricula use the British spellings (e.g. colour) but use American words (e.g. candy) and speak with American accents. Did British and American English have sex and 9 months later there was Canadian English?

Language is fluid,there's nothing more comical than hearing young Brits aping the speech of fashionable black American rappers..

We're a commonwealth country bordering the US&A who produces the best TV shows. I think the math is pretty simple here.

I'm not sure what you mean. Why "black" American rappers? Why suggest that rap is alien to British people?

Why use the word "aping"?

What were your assumptions going into this thread?

Aping as in copying,rap culture originated in black American culture to the best of my understanding,I find it comical (and you are free not to) when people a long way divorced from that indulge in such aping.Just an opinion.nothing sinister.
If you are implying there were racist undertones in my post you are wrong.

I apologise, you clearly never made any reference to race in your post and at no point suggested that you found any ethnic group to be comical if they behaved like another ethnic group and you clearly never employed the term "aping" as a point of comparison between said ethnic groups which you at no point declared to be comical.

I did refer to race obvously but not negatively and I definitely do not find any ethnic group comical.The comparison I made was between cultures primarily.Have you never heard of aping another persons behaviour,as in imitating them?But of course you know all this already you are only interested in taking an innocent personal observation and twisting it to get a reaction.Well done you can be proud of achieving that and not for the first time.
