I have had a feeling similar to that of Constance Reid for many years
now, and never use "math" (in the USA) or "maths" (in England),
except occasionally in responding to someone who has just used
one of these, and then I deliver the abbreviations with an intonation
and gestures that signal that I don't like them.
