>I noticed that there's also a difference with the US sports and the European sport. Somewhat the opposite of math/maths. Any explanation for this?
I hadn't noticed that one. I think that we use both, depending on sense, or maybe not, I'll think about it:
"I went to the school sports day"
"She worked in a sports shop"
"He was always good at sport" / "He was always good at sports"
"He's a good sport"
"What is your favourite sport?"
Still not sure - do we say something different?
"Of all sports, I like tennis the best"

>snide comment I've had a good look. I can't see any snide comments. Do we do those??? I brought an old thread up to the top. I'll post a link when I find it again. I'll call it "The one where AnnaS is taught how to say maths and where Jackie gets lost in her drawers" http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=61932

All right, Jo, you just wait till you see what I resurrect!  (FWIW, I still have no desire to peek inside someone's drawers...)
