    Tell you what - the 's' at the end of maths makes a sort of logical sense. I'll start using it if, in the same vein of following logic, you guys stop inserting a superfluous 'u' in the word color.

    It's not superfluous if you pronounce the word colour correctly, dontchaknow. ;P

        We didn't insert it. You folks got lazy and started leaving it out. :)

              Yeah it's a funny one that, the Brits and the Canadians both spell it Colour. The U comes from the French Couleur. The British were invaded in 1066AD by the Norman French, thus their ancestors were influenced by the French. The Canadians spell it with a U because their ancestors were French. The Americans spell it without a U because their ancestors were illiterate.... (stolen from a canuck stand-up comic back in 2006)

                For that to happen they will have to pull it back from sheeps. You can have sheep and maths or sheeps and math, the Yanks have gone for the later. Now you Pommy Bastards have no right to whinge here. Williams is Wills to you dumb fucks. There is not even an s in his name and you add one to the end of his shortened name. What are you all thinking?

                        It's a deal, drop the s from sheeps and put it back on maths; sheeps even sounds wrong, nearly as bad as fishes.
