You have a very limited social circle that does not include any migrants. Most of the world uses mom, and so the majority of people educated overseas will have learned mom as the default. Those migrants will be a significant portion of that 45% using the mom spelling. And there are a lot of people like me. I am a designer and because I deal with international clients on a daily basis, I found I had to change to American spelling back in the early part of the century. Apart from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, most people learning English use American educational resources these days and Britishisms are rapidly dying out. I also teach tertiary art education, and at least half of 20-ish year old uni students tend to use American spellings, but both British and American spellings are accepted as correct. This is not a new process. My primary school used the SRA Reading Laboratory in 1960. SRA (now sold by McGraw Hill,) is still sold to Australian primary schools, and is produced in Chicago, and is probably the most common reading comprehension resource in primary/elementary schools world wide. I remember how much I loved using SRA cards back then. SRA cards include vocabulary in, you guessed it, American spellings. Young people grow up with both mum and mom being equally familiar. They pronounce both words the same so you won't notice unless reading their written language. It might take another 20 or 30 years, but eventually the mum spelling will go extinct. Even in the UK older people complain about the mom spelling becoming common amongst younger people, as if anybody cares other than older people resisting change. Digital natives tend to think that it is silly having two spellings for words, and I tend to agree with that.
I agree there is nobody here who uses "Mom" apart from foreigners. Foreign to The Commonwealth of Australia, that is. Certainly plenty of the Citizens do use it.
@@darrenlucas804 Americanisation, the problem with Australia. We are (were) a Commonwealth. Why does everyone want to emulate a Yank for? . We know that RePublic is not only Missing Something, but it actively Takes something Away. This is at the core of the onion, and even most Aussies are oblivious.
There's been a flood of Yank immigrants contributing to it though too, as they realise the shortcomings of "Re-Public model" of Rome, and flee. Not realising what they're coming to. Yankified AUSTRALIA, when they are really looking for The Commonwealth.
You've been taught well. You were spot on with "THAT SHITS ME OFF!". I loved the way you went from "you can't say that", to "i'm gonna start using that!" 😄
Americans call mathematics math, because they argue mathematics functions as a singular noun, so math should be singular too. Fair enough Americans, but by the same singular rule, you're a bunch of arsehole. - Jimmy Carr
I just copied this definition of MATHEMATICS from wiki: Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). So the word is PLURAL! Maths is the correct abbreviation.
so there are cases where math is correct and cases where maths is correct. hmm it's the same in Romanian but there math is Math, and by that I mean that it encapsulates all maths . even though math is singular and maths is plural.
'Math, like normal people' ??? Does that mean that normal people are American and Commonwealth countries (not just Australians) are not normal? MathematicS .... MathS
I always figured maths is short for mathematics, but I remember being corrected on it several times in school, with teachers insisting that 'math' was proper.
@Nicholas1994, you were right. Mathematics is a collection of different aspects of working with numbers. For example, algebra, geometry. It's a plural, not a singular My teachers insisted that maths is the short form of mathematics
I am forever correcting my grandchildren correct words for Aussies. The TV shows and internet heavily influence young ppls speech. Especially young children using American lingo. Drives me nuts when kids say diper instead of nappy or candy instead of lollies, mom instead of mum etc
Well I'm just going to comment R.I.P Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles, two beautiful Australian girls 👧 who died after having their drinks 🍸 spiked in Laos
My heart is breaking for their parents. Actually my heart is breaking too, I can’t imagine my children dying like this. It actually hurts to hear of their deaths. Rest in peace.
I've lost a daughter age 22 in 2012. You lose a huge part of yourself, it's like no other death experience. My heart breaks for their families. The girls are in a beautiful place now. 🌸💖🌸

Chem is chemistry. Phys ed is physical education. You don't say physic, but physics. So why say math when the subject is mathematicS? It isn't mathematic.
The joke is on you because mathematics doesn't actually have an s at the end of you're being pedantic. The post norman conquest reintroduction of the word from the French mathematiques (which also doesn't have an s at the end) was bastardised and the s was added, it was mathematic (phonetically, Roman letters weren't used) prior to this. phys is a common contraction for physics, which s is kept? i dont think you understand how English and languages in general work... There are no rules, you just make whatever noises the other person understands, just a means to an end
"does this shit anyone off" made me laugh because when my 21 year old Niece was a kid she'd hear us grown ups saying "I was Pissing my self laughing" but she used to say "I'm shitting myself laughing" and to this day we always say it to her if she happens to say something silly.
Ryan, Mathematics is already plural, because the word includes all forms of mathematics: geometry, algebra, calculus, etc. When we shorten it, we keep the plural form. Math is the preferred term in the United States and Canada. Maths is the preferred term in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and other English-speaking places. To a British ear, 'math' sounds very odd because it should be plural.
I want to know why the yanks don't use the word "Take" ? USA : I will bring him to the Train station. The rest of the world: I will take him to the Train station
Maths is short for mathematics. The reason is because it is not one sum, it's many. A clue, we speak English. If the English say it is correct, it is. American speech is taking over our Aussie language because of the amount of american content we see here. There are Aussie children with American accents even though they have never been there. Many feel our identity is being lost because of constant social media and movie bombardment. I love that you are keen to see our culture, enjoy it before we lose it
the reason why it's maths is because there are multiple feilds of mathmatics such as algebra, geometry ect. This is also why it's not chemistries as chemistry is a single field of study. but you can say 'sciences' for example natural sciences is a common use of this plural form
Good news Ryan - RUclips isn't on the list of banned social media platforms for under 16's. As you said a few days ago, RUclips isn't really social media in quite the same way as Facebook, Tik Tok etc.
RUclips is where you can find a good representation of the online/social media world: the Nightwish song and clip for "Noise": " ...your mirror is black, only a copy stares back, to a slave of Brave New World..."
I’m an Australian boomer and teacher and MUM thankfully my kids just missed the smart phone social media at their formative years. I am in full agreement with the ban .With age verification for the adults it’s may be face recognition (this biometric) and or phone phone fingerprint both these being common id features on people’s phones and computers and or a registered Id from the my gov site. I am willing to to sacrifice some ‘freedoms’ to keep our kids safe.
After American defeated England in the war of Independence, the USA were keen to distance themselves from England and the English language. Hence they changed the spelling of many of the English words and their uses. They obviously tried to form a different language, but this didn’t work out well, they just murdered the real English language. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Actually, it was as a result of printing costs. When putting something in print, especially in the newspaper, each character cost a certain amount of money. Therefore, in order to cut down on the cost of printing, they began to "do away with" the letters in words that were deemed non-essential. It spread to the population at large and that is why modern American English is different to British, Australian, and New Zealand English, and the English of most other British colonized countries.
Actually you are both correct, but it is completely accurate that the American dictionary was originally written by Noah Webster, a Nationalist strongly supported the constitutional convention, and who openly stated that his objective was create a dictionary to reflect the the way Americans spoke (as distinct to their European cousins), and to ensure uniformity of speech across America in accordance with his dictionary rather the British way of writing (he actually stated this quite explicitly at the open of his American dictionary, and it remains the explicit directive of his publication (now know as the Merriam-Webster dictionary which is the version in common use in the US). So basically, he wanted to make sure that Americans wrote and spoke differently than Europeans, and has achieved that (to the ongoing detriment of in spell checkers and auto correct software)

K-6 teachers here have been using American handouts that don’t spell very well. Never mom here, always mum. Mathematics has an ‘s’ so when shortened … it is MathS 😊
I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie. Laurie Ingles calls her mum Ma. I have called my mom (😂) Ma ever since. Now my daughter calls me Ma as well 🤣 You will be happy to know that RUclips will not be banned for under 16 yr olds.
at 14/15 years old, I knew more about computers than any adult I knew. this social media ban would not have stopped me, if social media was a thing in the 90's. I guess the Govt. doesn't watch RUclips and see all the ads for VPN's
Sorry but you may not have noticed that the Social Media Platforms will be fined if an under 16 year old is found to have used their site, so knowing about computers and how to get around rules will not assist in the long run. The platforms do not want to pay fines for children breaking the rules, what will happen on the Platforms End?
What drives me crazy is people [ mostly Americans ] who have no idea what a bloody verb or an adjective is. It's slowLY, secondLY, carefulLY, quickLY - and on and on. The worst, imo, is ''Oh, don't take it personal ''. Grrrrr..personalLY. Rant over, thank you very much LOL
Another crazy law introduced in Victoria that went completely under the radar and without any consultation whatsoever is the prohibition of any gold (& other stuff) fossicking even if you own the land!. Victoria is rich with gold all over the place, even under Melbourne and surrounds in very ancient, peculiar volcanic deposits. Anyway, if you happen to spot some likely quartz on your land and want to dig a hole for fun or there is a stream and panning with your kids (a metal detector also helps) you can't if the land happens to be in one of the many swathes of designated areas. BUT if you happen to be a huge multi-national mining corporation,....suddenly restriction lifted!
Only the USA calls ‘Math’ - Mathematics ‘Maths’ is a multi-disciplinary subject. I failed maths, but I aced English (there is no such thing as American English, it’s a fantasy the USA keeps trying to promote to the unwilling English-speaking world, along with appalling spelling mistakes. Please stop the pretence that’s USAnians know anything at all. We’ve alllseen the videos where the shining youth of your country have demonstrated their level of knowledge and understanding.
Maths and Mum definitely. That Whisky was already empty when he dropped it from the sound of it. I love that Bad Breaking shirt is fantastic. Here in Aus the coupon thing hasn't really taken off
It will not help. What it will do though is make every Aussie age verify and hand over full identity online. The government will be in control just as China does. it's actually quite alarming and most people haven't cottoned on yet. They are just blinded by it being sold as "helping children".
Just for you Ryan, Physics, Chemistries, Biologies, Histories etc. should also be plural (with an "S"). Just like in Maths there are many different sections to these subjects.
The study of mathematics contains several branches. Hence the plural. History and other studies are usually broken up and referred to their specific branches. "Maths" is an abbreviation of, "Mathematics".
Maths is an abbreviation of mathematics. Getting the math right is likely to mean that the house, bridge, skyscraper isn't going to stay upright for long because you used arithmetic but ignored the geometry and algebra.
The distinction is that it is mathematics. Notice that this ends with an s. This does not apply for chemistry, biology or history. But does for physics.
When i was in high school in Tas our compulsory classes was Maths, English, Social Science, P.E ( physical education) and Science which i think is called chemistry now.
My mum used to complain about unnecessary words added to sentences. Predominately 'what'. It now drives me nuts too. Eg. 'He got more than what he wanted'. Rather than, 'He got more than he wanted'. It's called 'Pleonasm' apparently. Using more words than necessary. Mum called it bad grammer. 😁
You can't say 'that's a fair dinkum' their needs to be something at the end, a fair dinkum what? Drop the 'a', that leads to further implied context, just say 'that's fair dinkum'.
RayGun's embarrassing moments have been surpassed this week in terms of cringeworthiness by Clare Anderson who performed a Welcome To Country speech many thousands of kilometres from Australia in a sparsley attended meeting room in Azerbaijan.
We still say maths. Because it is short for mathematics. "On accident" is becoming more and more common - I only used to hear it from NESB people, who have a reason for it. I don't think that survey about "mum" was done IN Australia. "Mom" is definitely American and we say "Mum". When the delivery bloke looked like he was going to drive off, I though "fair enough". It was obviously no packed well. But then he delivered it AND took the photo. I still only go to a walk-in barber.
The children social media ban is absolutely not popular, except for with clueless people who need government to raise their kids for them. Its an excuse to get adults to show ID when using the internet and for the government to gain ever more control. Too many of my fellow Australians need to learn some history
It's not about the government raising children, it's about empowering parents to restrict something that is EXTREMELY difficult to restrict. Yes, parents can try to limit their child's social media use, but then that child becomes isolated from and in some cases bullied by their peers for being 'lame'. Frankly, you just sound like a conspiracy theorist, so my comment is probably pointless.
@ nothing conspiratorial about knowing the basics of history. What a ridiculous accusation. If you can’t control your own children thats a you problem. Don’t foist your inadequacies onto the rest of us. Develop a better relationship with your kids. When i look around today i see countless scenarios where kids are yelling at their parents, screaming in a shop with the parent doing nothing to stop them, talking to adults with no respect whilst the parent just stands there doing nothing etc etc Outsourcing poor parenting skills to the government is what happens in coh mew nist countries.
@@BowieZ But youre right, putting in effort to convince people of your extreme ideas is so pointless, just give up and demand the government use force to get what you want.
We still say maths. As far as I know 'math' is only used in the US and Canada. It's mum and has only ever been mum. Again 'mom' is American. We speak British English, thank you.
Coupons are a huge thing in the US, while in Australia, we got rid of them in the 1950s. You guys apparently need them because everything is so expensive. Here in Australia, we have easier ways of paying for things.
I blame "do the math" (which got underlined in red when I typed it here). EDIT: RUclips will likely be exempt from the ban, so come back "OFF OF" the window ledge, Ryan. 😛
I still call it maths. I will always call it maths. Even when I talk to my American friends and my accent drops, and I used American words for ease of explanation to them, eg candy, cookies, etc, maths is not one of the words that I will change.
We always said Maths. It is short for mathematics. We don't say Chemistrys or Geographys but we tend to shorten them to Chem BUT they are singular not plural like mathematics. The influence of American TV has changed and will change lots of things - and it does annoy me. It's NOT the USA's fault. WE elect to adopt terms from the USA. The USA doesn't make us do this.
Just so you know the space shake is super delicious and the sundae does look like that. .The sugar is in the popping candy that is with them both. Just a quick question.. if you are dieting why the heck are you even looking at take away shops.
9:14 Those Space Shakes are fucking delicious though i now know why... Also, Blueberry. Space tastes like blueberries apparently,... yet smells like burnt steak from what ive heard.
MathematicS ! We don't say it to try be be like how it's said in the UK. We say it because it's the bloody word! Two of the MANY that get right up my nose that have unfortunately taken hold are "I am in agreeance" instead of I agree and "REACH OUT" - what's wrong with "ask"? Can't hear that without getting the old Four Tops song "Reach Out and I'll Be There" playing in my head. Who the F did the survey on Mum - a Septic probably. BTW the Australian National Dictionary Centre has named 'Colesworth' it's Word of the Year for 2024. The term is used to refer to the perceived duopoly of Australia's largest supermarket retailers, Coles and Woolworths. You started Woolsworths but YOU ARE A TRENDSETTER RYAN!

Did an American do that survey. We never use mom here in Australia, it's always mum.
The old girl works too.
You have a very limited social circle that does not include any migrants. Most of the world uses mom, and so the majority of people educated overseas will have learned mom as the default. Those migrants will be a significant portion of that 45% using the mom spelling.
And there are a lot of people like me. I am a designer and because I deal with international clients on a daily basis, I found I had to change to American spelling back in the early part of the century. Apart from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, most people learning English use American educational resources these days and Britishisms are rapidly dying out. I also teach tertiary art education, and at least half of 20-ish year old uni students tend to use American spellings, but both British and American spellings are accepted as correct.
This is not a new process. My primary school used the SRA Reading Laboratory in 1960. SRA (now sold by McGraw Hill,) is still sold to Australian primary schools, and is produced in Chicago, and is probably the most common reading comprehension resource in primary/elementary schools world wide. I remember how much I loved using SRA cards back then.
SRA cards include vocabulary in, you guessed it, American spellings. Young people grow up with both mum and mom being equally familiar. They pronounce both words the same so you won't notice unless reading their written language. It might take another 20 or 30 years, but eventually the mum spelling will go extinct. Even in the UK older people complain about the mom spelling becoming common amongst younger people, as if anybody cares other than older people resisting change. Digital natives tend to think that it is silly having two spellings for words, and I tend to agree with that.
I agree there is nobody here who uses "Mom" apart from foreigners. Foreign to The Commonwealth of Australia, that is. Certainly plenty of the Citizens do use it.

Yeah, as opposed to Chemistry, History, etc.
We’re the ones who are consistent, not the Yanks
@@riiidiculoso8697 Also we used to shorten chemistry to Chem in school.

Also they don't pat their pets, they 'pet' them. And they don't seem to use spat, only spit. "She spit in my face."

actually it is railway station. A station along a railway, not a train.
That is odd and yet they say I'm going to take a shower, ok but where are you going to take it and can you bring it back when you're finished 😂
On the other hand in Australia we often say "take a piss", so there is that.

I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie. Laurie Ingles calls her mum Ma. I have called my mom (😂) Ma ever since. Now my daughter calls me Ma as well 🤣 You will be happy to know that RUclips will not be banned for under 16 yr olds.
at 14/15 years old, I knew more about computers than any adult I knew. this social media ban would not have stopped me, if social media was a thing in the 90's. I guess the Govt. doesn't watch RUclips and see all the ads for VPN's
Sorry but you may not have noticed that the Social Media Platforms will be fined if an under 16 year old is found to have used their site, so knowing about computers and how to get around rules will not assist in the long run. The platforms do not want to pay fines for children breaking the rules, what will happen on the Platforms End?
I say maths. Mum ❤. I’m mum,Nan,Nanna and now Granny.
I’m Oma. Not a drop of Dutch or German blood x it was just my granddaughter’s second word. “Okay, that’s me!”
They don't care about kids, they just want everyone's biometrics entered everywhere for every thing.
That map is as good as many Tea Towels I've seen.
It’s the only time I’ve heard an American use fair dinkum correctly and in context.
Wow, he got it totally wrong, it was cringeworthy. I guess you idolise this guy
He completely misused it 😂
Mom is rarely used …mum and sometimes mam for those in northern England
and Wales, Ireland
What drives me crazy is people [ mostly Americans ] who have no idea what a bloody verb or an adjective is. It's slowLY, secondLY, carefulLY, quickLY - and on and on. The worst, imo, is ''Oh, don't take it personal ''. Grrrrr..personalLY. Rant over, thank you very much LOL
They also have trouble with the word bias, using when they mean biased etc.
Math, short for MATHEMATIC
But its mathematics, so its MATHS
;)
Being "shitted off" or wondering if something "shits people off" is a common colloquialism here in Australia.
Maths is the study of a plurality of disciplines
Yes, math p's me off too. It is Maths, because there are so many different kinds of Maths.
Coupons aren’t a common thing here in Australia
Another crazy law introduced in Victoria that went completely under the radar and without any consultation whatsoever is the prohibition of any gold (& other stuff) fossicking even if you own the land!. Victoria is rich with gold all over the place, even under Melbourne and surrounds in very ancient, peculiar volcanic deposits. Anyway, if you happen to spot some likely quartz on your land and want to dig a hole for fun or there is a stream and panning with your kids (a metal detector also helps) you can't if the land happens to be in one of the many swathes of designated areas. BUT if you happen to be a huge multi-national mining corporation,....suddenly restriction lifted!
How is an ID check going to work for those of us who don't use our full name or our legal names on FB?
Am wondering the same - plenty of people can’t for safety reasons
12:20 - Fingerprint - Retina Scan - DNA match - Biometric ID
Ryan they are both the Same Thing.
Only the USA calls ‘Math’ - Mathematics ‘Maths’ is a multi-disciplinary subject. I failed maths, but I aced English (there is no such thing as American English, it’s a fantasy the USA keeps trying to promote to the unwilling English-speaking world, along with appalling spelling mistakes. Please stop the pretence that’s USAnians know anything at all. We’ve alllseen the videos where the shining youth of your country have demonstrated their level of knowledge and understanding.
Maths and Mum definitely.
That Whisky was already empty when he dropped it from the sound of it.
I love that Bad Breaking shirt is fantastic.
Here in Aus the coupon thing hasn't really taken off
If you zoom in, it's all over the road. 🙂
The language is English so basically it is maths ok
The Social Media ban thing is because of lots of young kids are taking their own lives over bullying online... :(
It will not help. What it will do though is make every Aussie age verify and hand over full identity online. The government will be in control just as China does. it's actually quite alarming and most people haven't cottoned on yet. They are just blinded by it being sold as "helping children".
Social media has ruined a lot of lives, so unless there is another way why not let kids have a life until 16 . Something needs to be done.
Just for you Ryan, Physics, Chemistries, Biologies, Histories etc. should also be plural (with an "S"). Just like in Maths there are many different sections to these subjects.
The study of mathematics contains several branches. Hence the plural. History and other studies are usually broken up and referred to their specific branches. "Maths" is an abbreviation of, "Mathematics".
Nyou's not Noo's for News !
Maths is an abbreviation of mathematics. Getting the math right is likely to mean that the house, bridge, skyscraper isn't going to stay upright for long because you used arithmetic but ignored the geometry and algebra.
Mathematics- Maths. We always shorten the words.
Dude, going on vacation to Florida IS vacationing somewhere Weird. Its Florida!
The distinction is that it is mathematics. Notice that this ends with an s.
This does not apply for chemistry, biology or history. But does for physics.
It was always maths when I went to school (yes, it was a long time ago).
When i was in high school in Tas our compulsory classes was Maths, English, Social Science, P.E ( physical education) and Science which i think is called chemistry now.
Chemistry is only one branch of science. There’s physics, biology & others (I think - it’s been a while).
@judithstrachan9399 yep a it's been a few years since school 😆
We did science prior to year 10, a generalised course, for the HSC you have biology, physics or chemistry.
maths is short for MathmaticS
Regarding the T-shirt for the Olympic Brakedancer, look up the Wikipedia descriptions for the elements: it stinks and not naturally found in nature!😂
My mum used to complain about unnecessary words added to sentences. Predominately 'what'. It now drives me nuts too. Eg. 'He got more than what he wanted'. Rather than, 'He got more than he wanted'. It's called 'Pleonasm' apparently. Using more words than necessary. Mum called it bad grammer. 😁
You can't say 'that's a fair dinkum' their needs to be something at the end, a fair dinkum what? Drop the 'a', that leads to further implied context, just say 'that's fair dinkum'.
I'm an Aussie as in my husband I say Math he says Maths, we don't go there. 😂
Barium and bromide are those letters on the periodic table. Ba, Br. On that so called break dancers shirt
Funny they have been spraying barium and other things in the flies. Up high.
Rhymes with flies.
When we were young you could buy a plastic Australian map you could trace..I don't think his was freehand.. maybe Tasmania was.. boomer here
RayGun's embarrassing moments have been surpassed this week in terms of cringeworthiness by Clare Anderson who performed a Welcome To Country speech many thousands of kilometres from Australia in a sparsley attended meeting room in Azerbaijan.
The mis info bill was squashed good Sir 👍. New subscriber
We still say maths. Because it is short for mathematics. "On accident" is becoming more and more common - I only used to hear it from NESB people, who have a reason for it.
I don't think that survey about "mum" was done IN Australia. "Mom" is definitely American and we say "Mum".
When the delivery bloke looked like he was going to drive off, I though "fair enough". It was obviously no packed well. But then he delivered it AND took the photo.
I still only go to a walk-in barber.
The children social media ban is absolutely not popular, except for with clueless people who need government to raise their kids for them.
Its an excuse to get adults to show ID when using the internet and for the government to gain ever more control.
Too many of my fellow Australians need to learn some history
Or parents can get off their arse and do parenting
It's not about the government raising children, it's about empowering parents to restrict something that is EXTREMELY difficult to restrict. Yes, parents can try to limit their child's social media use, but then that child becomes isolated from and in some cases bullied by their peers for being 'lame'.
Frankly, you just sound like a conspiracy theorist, so my comment is probably pointless.
@ nothing conspiratorial about knowing the basics of history. What a ridiculous accusation.
If you can’t control your own children thats a you problem. Don’t foist your inadequacies onto the rest of us. Develop a better relationship with your kids. When i look around today i see countless scenarios where kids are yelling at their parents, screaming in a shop with the parent doing nothing to stop them, talking to adults with no respect whilst the parent just stands there doing nothing etc etc
Outsourcing poor parenting skills to the government is what happens in coh mew nist countries.
@@BowieZ But youre right, putting in effort to convince people of your extreme ideas is so pointless, just give up and demand the government use force to get what you want.
Finally someone with intelligence 👏👏👏👏👍👍 Liam that is.
Dude, I'm about to watch your vid. I have to say, your thumbnail is one of the funniest so far.
We still say maths. As far as I know 'math' is only used in the US and Canada.
It's mum and has only ever been mum. Again 'mom' is American. We speak British English, thank you.
Coupons are a huge thing in the US, while in Australia, we got rid of them in the 1950s. You guys apparently need them because everything is so expensive. Here in Australia, we have easier ways of paying for things.
No they were still around in the 1980s, but a lot were scams so the theme was phased out!
@ I haven’t seen a coupon in Sydney since the seventies. Maybe they were phased out at different rates.
@Jeni10 Yes, I think dry cleaning and pizza discounts were last, maybe Flybys!
Shopadockets
I was using Hungry Jacks vouchers until 2019, at least. I think app offers have taken over now. Pity my HJ’s app doesn’t work.
I blame "do the math" (which got underlined in red when I typed it here).
EDIT: RUclips will likely be exempt from the ban, so come back "OFF OF" the window ledge, Ryan. 😛
I still call it maths. I will always call it maths. Even when I talk to my American friends and my accent drops, and I used American words for ease of explanation to them, eg candy, cookies, etc, maths is not one of the words that I will change.
We always said Maths. It is short for mathematics. We don't say Chemistrys or Geographys but we tend to shorten them to Chem BUT they are singular not plural like mathematics. The influence of American TV has changed and will change lots of things - and it does annoy me. It's NOT the USA's fault. WE elect to adopt terms from the USA. The USA doesn't make us do this.
Florida candy is fentanyl.
Mathematics is shortened to "maths"... that says it all.
To find people under 16, you also need to identify the people OVER 16. To make the system work, they will need a National ID.
Just so you know the space shake is super delicious and the sundae does look like that. .The sugar is in the popping candy that is with them both. Just a quick question.. if you are dieting why the heck are you even looking at take away shops.
That’s because it’s mathamaticSsSSsss, ya bloody Hoosier. I’ll be damned if something as tame sounding as “Math” made me cry so much. ❣️
Just off topic. Mate, do you have a brother on here that does reactions as well?
His twin does yes
Maths - short for Mathematics, is how we traditionally say it.
9:14 Those Space Shakes are fucking delicious though i now know why...
Also, Blueberry. Space tastes like blueberries apparently,... yet smells like burnt steak from what ive heard.
Im not really up to date with memes, but i didnt know that 6 months later it was considered 'retro'.....thats crazy, to me at least.
Trolli? Looks like Gummi Worms to me.
Always maths to me me because it encompasses numerous things. Math=singular, Maths =plural. 👌🥰
RUclips is fine they can still use and watch that 😊
G'day Mate! here in Australia we say maths as it is short for mathematics....I guess that you use a shortened version of mathematic??? Cheers!
MathematicS ! We don't say it to try be be like how it's said in the UK. We say it because it's the bloody word! Two of the MANY that get right up my nose that have unfortunately taken hold are "I am in agreeance" instead of I agree and "REACH OUT" - what's wrong with "ask"? Can't hear that without getting the old Four Tops song "Reach Out and I'll Be There" playing in my head. Who the F did the survey on Mum - a Septic probably. BTW the Australian National Dictionary Centre has named 'Colesworth' it's Word of the Year for 2024. The term is used to refer to the perceived duopoly of Australia's largest supermarket retailers, Coles and Woolworths. You started Woolsworths but YOU ARE A TRENDSETTER RYAN!
Chemistry doesn't end with an s, mathematics DOES!
Always mum in Aus. Nobody ever uses the American spelling here unless they happen to be American.
Its maths because its short for mathematics. Perfect other example if you study statistics you may shorten that down to stats, no one studies stat.
