Hey Aussie girls
me and BF are just watching the U.S. 'are you smarter than a 5th grader' and so the question arises - do you Aussies say math (like they do in the US) or maths (with an 's') like NZ and I assume British English
how about Canadian English?

I haven't seen the Aussie version, although it could well be on Prime which has a bunch of Aussie stuff - we do have a NZ version 'are you smarter than a 10 year old"

NZers say "maths" too...
Math is so American...
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
