  I am replying to hemocyanin who used the term 'math'.

  In British English, unlike US English, there is no such word - regardless of any conjugation used. The only contraction of the word 'mathematics' is maths. It is always written that way in the UK.

  Reading comprehension does not come into it. There is, to us, simply no such word. One cannot 'comprehend' words that do not exist.

  Unlike myself, you would be invaluable as part of the Editorial team. Seriously, please join us.

  Yes they used the term that Taco Cowboy did. This is what I told you.
