Sudden Loss of Power Steering WHEN DRIVING

[Stroppy]

Okay...call me lazy but I haven't read back through all of this thread. My car went in for the recall service in November last year. I think mine was one of the first done at my local dealer. Now that the recall service has been completed should the car be okay from now on?

Which is correct math or maths?
Both maths and math are shortened forms of the word mathematics, which is the study of number, quantity, and space. Math is the American variant. Maths is the British variant.

It’s much like color / colour (and the like). Sadly American spelling has polluted our British English as used down under. People setting incorrect language within their PCs doesn’t help auto correct to choose the right spelling so it gets worse as the years progress

It is actually derived from a Greek word

Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, "knowledge, study, learning")

Indeed.

But why is maths the correct English abbreviation for mathematics (yet Americans incorrectly call it math) ... and yet the plural of Lego is Lego and (yet the Americans pluralise it to Legos - like you can cook & eat it with a nice bolognese sauce)?!?!
