    Maths Forum?

    Is this a British run website, now?

    Um...yes?
    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    Why do you ask? "Maths" is perfectly good American English.

    I've never heard anyone refer to it as maths. Really, I'm just wondering if it has always been called that, or if someone renamed it (the forum, not the word)?

    No, the forum was not renamed.

    As far as it being "perfectly good American English" it is, but I just looked it up and Websters says chiefly British.

    I've just always heard the plural of math refered to as math, assuming maths is supposed to be a plural.

    I guess it doesn't matter. Just curious.
