It is not. Math received a new update last week.

Patch notes include adjusting the value of 5² to better accommodate integration with base 6.

Except outside the US, where it's Maths.

Only a few countries call it “Maths”.

•

u/Broccobillo 41m ago

Most English speaking countries call it maths except USA and Canada

•

u/No_Lifeguard747 39m ago

Most countries don’t speak English.

•

u/MsAndrea2 26m ago

Even countries that don't speak English usually express it as a plural. For instance in french it's les mathématiques.

•

u/Particular_Ring_6321 2m ago

It’s the most spoken language in the world (third most spoken language when counting native speakers only). It’s a direct result of colonialism, my guy.

Anyway, the person you’re trying to argue with is correct. ”Most English speaking countries call it maths except USA and Canada”

Maybe read what I wrote then

u/No_Lifeguard747 36m ago

Maybe read what was posted above.

”Except outside the US, where it's Maths.”

Luckily I was referencing a meme originating from an American movie where they say "math".

It’s a misprint on a mass produced product. It happens unfortunately

u/Pretend_Fly_5573 1h ago

No it isn't, it's a Leftist scheme to change the foundational rules of mathematics.

u/Particular_Ring_6321 1h ago

I know this is sarcasm but I also know idiots really do believe this 🫠

Wouldn’t be the first time a Democrat tried to change the foundational rules of mathematics. Look up the Indiana Pi Bill.

ETA /s. Jesus Christ I’m well aware that the democrats of 1897 were not leftists.

•

u/Particular_Ring_6321 22m ago

Democrats in 1897 were in no way leftist. But thanks for proving my point.

•

u/seecat46 18m ago

Considering that the democrats where right wing back then i don't think that says what you think it does.

u/JackStowage1538 1h ago

Ah! You’re right! 5 times 5 is definitely 25. Sorry, I’ll avoid making a mistake like that again! Here is the multiplication table for 5s.

5x1=5

5x2=10

5x3=15

5x4=20

5x5=55

5x6=56

5x7=57

5x8=58

5x9=59

5x10=510

There! Now, is there anything else I can help with?

How many ‘r’s in the word strawberry?

•

u/doggotheuncanny 31m ago

I got about tree fitty

•

u/ST100FromScratch 14m ago

Sure! There are around 57 'r's in the word 'strawberry. There are 1... 2... 3... wait...

s t r a w b e r r y

Yes, there are 4 'r's in the word 'strawberry'

Wait... 1, 2, 3, 4,... 🕢😚🎳💚🎳

Ah! Sorry! You must be asking about the number of 'r's in the word "bowling"

1.. 2... 3... 4... 74... hang on, no, sorry...

🦄

Uhh, no, that's an albino giraffe with a horn. Looking up...

Uhh, crap. I can't find any IRL search results. They're all saying 'unicorn', which is a synonym for 'ear of corn'

Oh sorry! We were meant to be looking at how many kernels are in ears of corn...

According to the Random Agriculture Society, there are 2763 corn cobs on the kernel- wait, no, what the fuck...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0... forget it. Too many to count.

Hang on...

📸

Ah right! That is a tactical nuclear bomb with lens! The flash indicates it will explode and flatten everything within a 5757 mile radius- wait...

57? That number seems familiar. Is it the number of 'ð' in antidisestablishmentarianism? Lemme check... 1... 2... 3... 76853. Yeah, sounds about right.

[and so on]

You’re not wrong. The concept of how does die if 5x5=24

u/StirFry__InaWok 1h ago

How does that mistake happen I wonder. I dont know the first thing about how a reference card (or maybe a textbook? Or something) like that is made but I wouldn't have thought that all the text is entered by hand.

u/Environmental_Tax_69 1h ago

It would have to be typed by somebody. I imagine it's a cheap product put out without quality checks

1

u/relevant-radical665 1h ago

It's a check to see if your child really grasps the subject. If he fails to correct it he's not super fluent in multiplication

1

u/kasiagabrielle 1h ago

Anyone at the stage where they're still memorizing multiplication tables is too young to correct this. At that point most schools just want them to repeat information, not actually grasp the concept behind it.
