Peter has demonstrated an idiom that differs between the Americans and English. 12/13/2012, 19:25:11

Bones writes: In the US, we use 'math' as the shortened version of 'mathematics'. I'm pretty sure that English-speaking Canada also uses 'math'. There is a lot of variation in the way the language is used, so don't let the differences put you off. Celebrate them instead!
