      Agreed. I’m British and became a Canadian Citizen when I was 9 and moved back and forth a lot between the two countries.

      When I moved back to the UK when I was 25 – I actually had to get used to hearing and saying “maths”. I remember going to school in Sheffield when I was 14-15 and I must have heard it there but it still shocked me as an adult.
