Oh, those Brits.
WTF is up with the keyword?
I am guessing it was an edit to get the story down to the proper size. It was probably shortened from Mathematics. Some whiz kid working on the Sunday morning of a three day weekend simply figured it was a “real” word.
The “A” team is not working today.
All the keywords look like they represent different aspects of his life.
“maths”
Short for mathematics. Technically correct I suppose.
Now, “Aluminium” I can’t defend.
Maths- is how they said it in Britain. They also say pavements, instead of pavement.
They also say ‘stats’ when referring to the disipline of statistics, whereas we only say it when referring to the data themselves.
You become accustomed to ‘maths’ and ‘stats’ after you’ve been around Brits long enough. But personally, I don’t think I could ever become so accustomed to them I’d use them myself. Although some Americans do, especially when speaking with Brits.
Just remember, we say ‘physics’ without batting an eye. In fact, ‘physic’ would be plain flat-out wrong when referring to the science of physics.
