Maths is short for mathematics so it makes sense

I hear ya. Its just strange when you're taught "math" is already plural. Here in the US people study math and science and they take art. Its just awkward to say people study maths, sciences and they take arts.

I don’t think we do “sciences” here tho. Maths and arts make sense. Till high school “science” or “environmental studies” is taught. Then they give us physics, chemistry and biology.

I love all the differences of English, it's sometimes confusing as hell though when words start having totally different meanings ie " take a piss " . Lol
