Isaac Asimov once commented as a side note where he proof read a UK copy of one of his books and pointed out a typo. His editor pointed out in The UK that it was called maths. "Their language I guess" he said.

I suppose Sailor boy dragging this thread into that thread to prove his point is good on his account but completely misses the irony in the first place.

Ah well. Keep banging the rocks together.
