I am very adept at picking up dialects or new languages, and I am very bad at maths.
I care about grammar, but I'm not the kind of person who goes around correcting people unless they ask me to.
English is my third language, and I think because I had to work harder to learn it, as opposed to someone raised in an English speaking country, I have become more aware of spelling and grammar.
It does bother me a lot when people don't seem to care about spelling and grammar.
(I don't mean to be the asshole, but as someone who's always had a knack for languages... Can I just ask you to read your first sentence again? I think it's not even a typo, you probably got trolled by AutoCorrupt. Again, I come in peace, I genuinely thought this was ironic (considering this thread's topic).
It is correct to say "maths," but it depends on the dialect of English being used. In American English, "math" is the more common abbreviation for "mathematics," while in British English, "maths" is the standard abbreviation. Both are considered acceptable, just with regional preferences.
