Default Re: Good

Here in NZ, we'd say "at". We also say "maths", too. I remember reading on antoher web forum someone complaining about the subtitling of a Hindi movie that used "maths". The person complained "math is not a plural!" and was genuinely surprised to learn that India, like many other Commonwealth countries, retains the "s" when contracting "mathematics". Vive la différence, as we say in English.
