Does it matter what we say? so long as we are communicating.
<div>Imagine we are in a pub, or bar in the UK or America.</div><div>A typical dialogue:</div><div><br></div><div>B person: British are correct,</div><div>A person: No they are not the Americans are correct.</div><div>A person: No you are wrong The Americans first used that word.</div><div>B person: oh no they didn't it was the proper speaking Brits.</div><div>A person: Oh yeah I think you are wrong the Americans first used that word.</div><div>B person: How the ** could they the Brits took the language over to America.</div><div>A person: Trust the Brits to complicate and confuse everybody!</div><div>B person: So do you say is or are doing <strong><u>math</u></strong>.</div><div>A person; What does it matter I'm still doing<strong><u> math</u></strong>.</div><div>B person: But that is stupid you can't say <strong><u>are doing math</u></strong>, the word<strong><u> math is not plural</u></strong>.</div><div>A person: BUT but! [at this point another round of drinks is ordered]</div><div><br></div><div>And so it continues all through the night until at 03:00 am in the morning when the police or cops are called to break up a bar room brawl, that has spilled out onto the street like a western film.</div><div><br></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(0, 71, 178);"><u>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHVUrT5m-wM </u></strong></div><div><br></div><div>So was it all worth it, watch the video to see how <strong><u>math and maths</u></strong> came to be and who started it first and who is guilty and who is innocent and which party the police or cops should charge with "causing a breach of the peace", be warned the words and the history go back and fourth more times than a ?.</div>
