Today, I found out that my mother has been seeing my maths teacher. I'm still failing his class. FML

Good on your teacher for not feeling an obligation to break the rules because he's dating your mum. Maybe you should ask for help if you're failing.

FYL for wanting to rely on your mom for your grades.

maybe she should date your English teacher so you actually pass the class

Oh ffs this is just stupid now... Also, it's an s, even if it were incorrect (which, by the way, it isn't) it could've been a typo rather than the OP being genuinely stupid.

YDI for expecting a cheap grade just because your mom is doing your teacher.

Are people really this thick? Are people really so thick that they cannot read one of the many, many comments that say that Maths is an acceptable word? Or use Google.

the agreement was if I let you pork my mother then you pass me in math!

"Maths" teacher? Are you failing English, too?

I feel your pain. I've read every comment on here and I can see you've tried to corrected everyone, yet there are still some people who think reading is for nerds. Some people.

People it's only in the US where you say math, however the correct term is maths, since its short for mathematics. The rest of the world refers to it as the latter of the two.

the people who said maths is wrong our idiots, thats actually the correct term, and oh i guess ur failing english as well you ignorant american losers!

Stop trying to be a smart arse and actually read things before you make yourself look like an idiot by repeating something that has already been corrected a million times. Maths is a correct term, deal with it!

Im sorry not all mothers can **** their way into you having a better grade...just saying...

Wow it's a good thing your not in English it's math not maths

There's an explanation in comment #77 why maths is fine.

in England and other UK areas, they call it maths, while here in America, we call it math. so technically, "math" is less correct than "maths"
