Someone living in Sydney (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41546796) and using "maths" in the Commonwealth style (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41280463) decides that someone like my foreign-born father who became a US citizen as a teenager, was wrong to think he's an American?
Bless your heart.
That's very cool...I don't get the "maths"'s Commonwealth style, do you have any links to enlighten me?
Most members of the Commonwealth - Canadians excepted - say "maths" while North American English uses "math".
