Maths
I find that people in the UK mostly say maths whilst across the pond in the US they say math.

In the US, we say Math. People from the British Commonwealth say Maths.

Notice the interesting statistical range of answers; this question was posed at 6 am in the East of the US (3 am on the west coast), but during mid day in the UK, so it is not surprising that the bulk of answers are "Maths". Ask this again in 12 hours and I bet the bulk of the answers will be the American "Math"

oh well, time to get ready for work here in the midwest

I always wondered why some people say maths. The first few times I thought it was just a typo, but after the 20th time I was getting confused. Here in the US nobody spells it like that.

I have never heard "maths", in the United States it is always pronounced "math." That is a new fact for me. You learn something new every day!
