What the... ?

In the Talmage building on campus I've noticed these signs lately, which read, "Maths is vital" and "Maths hots up."






Apparently English really isn't a strong point for Mathematicians.

Maths isn't really a strong point for Englishians, either.

The signs are probably from England. They use "maths" instead of "math" there, and it kinda makes sense, since it is short for mathematics after all. The verb "hot" is new to me, though, but according dictionary.com says hot can be a verb: "Chiefly British Informal. to heat; warm (usually fol. by up)." Weird.

Smith, I should have expected that you would be the one to clarify it! Hahaha, when I took the pictures I took the time to read what it said on those posters, and I learned that they say, "maths" in England. But I thought it would be a good post anyway. Thanks for reading!
