Math is a shortened version of the word mathematics. Therefore no need to put an 's' on the end. Now you do the sum(s).
Ahem, maths is short for mathematics, see the s at the end? You do the summsies.

I have never met anyone born here who says "do the math". Whether it's right or wrong grammatically it just sounds wrong to an English ear.
Math is not an 'americanism', maths might be however.
Why do Americans say it then whilst we don't?
Honest here, I have never heard an English person say "do the math."

Its good that we're buying young hungry players, this can only be a good thing.simon23 said:from what ive seen of him id describe him as a young striker who is still very rough around the edges but who has lots of potential...he is also inconsistent which is normal and understandable at his age and point of development in his career.
he has all the physical attributes to make it in the prem....quick and strong, decent shot on him as well.
this player will need a lot of patience however.....he isnt going to be a top player the moment he arrives, and it will take him time to adapt......he will need in my opinon at least a season or so till he finds his feet......and i expect that (barring injuries) RM will use him sparingly
the fans must have patience with him and ignore the shit that is written in the media about him(he will undoubtedly attract a lot of negative press as he is a player who the media will love to hate...just like ade and robinho) and as i said he will be inconsisitent in his performances.....he probably wont be a plaeyer who does a lot of defending from the front either (though he can learn this)
i just hope the fans give him a fair crack of the whip IF we do sign him
agree...you are preaching to the converted but there are some fans who are very impatient and turn on our own players the first sign of a problem...look at the way some have turned on Ireland....fans favourite and player of the year one season...next....lots of people want him gone, saying he is useless etc etc etc....balotelli will be inconsistent due to his age and the fact that he is playing in a new league and he seems also the tempremental type......some fans dont have the patience for this as they cannt see the bigger picture
