Math is short for "Mathematics" or "Mathematic". Answers on a self-addressed postcard...

I'll keep the postcard. Save the sarcasm. Maths would indeed imply that you you have more than one system. |

 It's you, Wolf.
Dyak-- yes we are pedantic. My ex is a journalist - she told me I was pedantic every day!
Question is, if we weren't pedantic-- a bit or a lot, how could we do the job? |

Capers, in your case you would ask---Is it me, or............
my AVATAR?
It's your avatar. 
(In the absence of anything else, such as pictograms or holograms, of course.)
Hmm, is it me or is this thread getting attenuated? |
