Okay we had a small debate in #portableapps so now I'm curious. Do you say Maths or Math when referring to an Arithmetic class. If you say something different feel free to state that too. Also say where you're from if you don't mind please.
I say Math and I'm from Oregon, United States of America (West Coast) how about you?

and I, too, studied in the US (Texas). It seems that while the rest of the world says Maths, the US says Math (But then again, the US has always liked to do things differently, i.e., measuring units).

As a side note, I've met some exchange students that say maths. I guess it depends on where you are in this world.
