The word "maths" is contextually appropriate, and part of British vernacular."Maths" (used to describe the field in it's entirety) is a noun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266513175119063933.post-64116713170277652542008-02-24T09:57:00.000-04:002008-02-24T09:57:00.000-04:002008-02-24T09:57:00.000-04:00Oh those Brits. I just can't shake the memory of the atrocious messages and emails I received from my Irish friends. I know that sometimes it's okay to use your little web-speak (through > thru) but they've pretty much gone and made both spelling and grammar completely optional when it comes to electronic communication. Just take a peak around YouTube and you'll see them all over!<BR/><BR/>As for my favourite local sign, I never get over the Metro Centre's which state something along the lines of:<BR/><BR/>Please do "NOT" stand up during the performance.<BR/><BR/>So...is the "NOT" a joke? Are they giving us a little wink and saying that we can? Possible but I expect that someone just really didn't understand the whole air quotations trend.Benjamin Boudreauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14169067066816104504noreply@blogger.com
