Maybe instead of debating this special case we should fix something more important, perhaps by getting people to understand that verbs should match subjects?

For example:

"The detailed study of cloud formations and rainfall distribution have led to an interesting conclusion."

I hear this error constantly, even from highly educated people.

@catsalad Number thingy

@catsalad the long form is Matthews.

@catsalad
Maths.
Although math is becoming the new norm in Nz
due to Americanisation. )':

@catsalad I actually voted for maths because I like to tease my family and say maths.. .but I actually say math.

@catsalad

Meow

Hugz & xXx

P.s. I sure heaps of cats just meow at you all the time ... Hugz

@catsalad It's clearly a non-count noun like 'misery', 'confusion', and 'torture'.

@catsalad Would it be "Maffs" in lolcat?

@catsalad
Despite being en-US natively, I adopted the en-UK "Maths" before I even knew it was a Thing. "mathematics" shortened to "maths" just seemed to make more sense to me than "math".

@catsalad Maths is short for mathematics. 'Math' sounds like someone couldn't be bothered to even say the full abbreviation, or they are trying to say the abbreviation for 'Mathematic'..

@catsalad maffs :3

@catsalad "Hard Sums"
