Default OT English System vs Imperial System of Measure

So math may not be a common language after all


Indeed. USians call it 'math' whereas Australians call it 'maths' (always
with an 's' on the end and I presume that might be because it [perhaps]
liguistically, derives from 'mathmatics' as opposed to 'arithmetic'). Must
check my big OED some day.
