Finally someone says "fake" I wondered why no one ever says that

It's very possible though..as some teachers teach more than one class (I.E. a creative writing class and a basic English class.) I've had the same teacher twice in one day. And perhaps she thought he left to go to the bathroom and then came back for the next class..

i've forgotten stuff in class and had to go back

or maybe he would go back for more ;) LOL jk

It appears that you are not aware that in some parts of the world (such as Wales) "maths" is correct. Consider yourself informed.

Don't be an idiot. The whole world doesn't abide by the United States of America's grammar laws.

Yeah not everyone lives in America you dick. It's called maths in England, so don't assume that your country's way of saying is correct all over the world.

#18 Try and be little less close minded.

how do Americans say maths?

'Math' is the bizarre Americanism. Obviously you're not expanding your horizons.

well i asked how they said it didn't i, what more do you want

sorry we dont abide by your dumbass grammar maths? wtf is that

@timtam, I think the part about expanding horizons may have been directed at number 18... not sure, but even if it wasn't, you can pretend that and then everyone is happy. :)

ha are you trying to troll again. Stop trying to pick a fight

AMERICA! **** YEA! **** you britfags.

Math class is singular here. If you have multiple math classes then you state them individually such as "geometry" and "algebra." Saying maths is like saying geeses or trying to pluralize the word "jeans."

It's 'maths' because it's an abbreviation of 'mathematics', genius.

Firstly in Britain we say maths, and since we invented the language it means Americans insulting this should shut their ******* mouths, if you think you can speak better go make your own language.

Everyone who's getting upset needs to relax. Yes, the guy wasn't aware that it's said differently in different parts of the world, but you don't need to go attacking all Americans and getting self-superior like that. And Americans: Please be aware that the way we speak is not the way everyone speaks. Thanks. @ OP: Wow, that really sucks. Hopefully you were able to sort it out with the principal and your teacher (or better, switch classes... I've met people who would hold a grudge anyways).

dude!!! RELAX!!!!! they aren't hating on America or Americans and they are just trying to inform everyone that not everyone in the world thinks and speaks the way Americans do (and even all Americans don't speak and think the way other Americans do), so chill the eff out! and why would you think he was from America when it clearly states on his fml that he is from australia?

I totally agree with #50

No, it isn't normal to assume that if someone speaks your language they're from your country. And even if it is, he wasn't speaking american, he was speaking English, which is not an american language. It's the British language. I only hate on individual americans who think the entire world is american, not the whole country, because that'd be ignorant.

They don't think he was from america. Someone criticized his use of "maths" and in America it's traditionally referred to as "math." I really don't understand what the big deal is. Math...maths... who cares. Let's call it mathematics so no one has to freaking fight about it. Being from America, I STILL hear the use of "maths" so it isn't totally unbeknownst to American culture.

i'm american. saying maths vs saying math seems to make more sense. seeing as though there are multiple types and branches of math. eh. its just culture.

Ok...I made this account JUST to say this.... Seriously ONE person bitches about the way somebody spells and EVERY American is ignorant, pathetic, stupid ect So **** off that's being ignorant yourself you assholes seriously Stop being selfish Talking shit because of one person That's PATHETIC like horribly pathetic I never even caught that the OP spelled it 'maths' untill i started reading all this bullshit Who the **** cares If you want to talk shit... Make sure you can actually prove yourself with more than just ONE person proving it...

you made it just to comment on this, but you have to admit thats one creepy ass username for one post... i like how you called them out though, because they probably won't listen to one word you just said and come back with something completely different such as, "Yea well Americans, take drugs, pick their buttholes, are afraid of nudisim, ride unicorns, fly, push buildings over with their pinkys, juggle with cars, sit and laugh at things that arent funny, have a good time, cry, sleep, eat, you know pretty much the essentials...

first?

Actually the language was invented by Germans, or rather Danes, and corrupted by the French. Learn your history.

@73 At no point did I say that, nor did I say a single thing negative about Americans in general at all. Get your facts right. I merely pointed out that the whole world doesn't abide by your grammar laws.

It's the ******* internet who gives a shit how some one spells or their lack of grammar or their lack of knowledge of other types of grammar. It's not like the way a person types on the internet is the way they talk or write in real life. All the grammar/spelling nazi's need to go die in a fire.

whoa. this thing is WAYYYY too long :P

that's what she said.

@103 "The Language" was invented by the Indians not the Germans or whatever the **** you said. Indians invented Sanskrit the mother of all languages so before you go telling people to learn history, try taking your own advice. Jackass. I'm a troll and I'm smarter than you. Stupid women. TROLL OUT-

god. what is your problem? there is english, which is commonly used around the words, especially within the commonwealth countries, where.. american english, or simply american, is just not recognized as a language, especially in the education systems. deal with it. it's not "british english", just ENGLISH because, why? ENGLISH is from ENGLAND.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English American English is a dialect of the English language, stop being a bitch, you don't speak English, you speak American. Your dialect is not recognized anywhere else in the world.

Those people who do not know about different english spellings, do they not read books or watch shows from other countries? I'm from Hong Kong and I always notice when they say things like "aluminum" instead of "aluminium" on tv.

FML is the only place you can find a page long flame-war about proper abbrieviation spelling

I'm just going to say that people like you make us Americans look really stupid when not all of us are. Some Americans understand that different languages pronounce and spell words differently like realize for example. Seriously you need to broaden your horizons and learn to understand that not everyone in the world is from America nor do they speak American English.

138- Stop bitching about how American English is a dialect. Contrary to popular belief, Americans do have ears and brains, and can indeed understand and communicate with british people. They're not actually neanderthals, and they're really not genetically inferior.

no u

unborn.... do you come back as a born-again then turn into an undead? creepy

#34 you win!!
