Absolutely love the work done here! Only change I would make is change "rubber" to "eraser" to help more English speaking children understand the content (:
Since it's a spoof of gov.uk, "rubber" is correct!

Oh god I knew this would be contentious
I've just changed it to 'eraser' but actually I should make it conditional on your navigator.language...

#13Really glad everyone's enjoying this!
If anyone does use it with their kids:
a) There's a sneaky secret admin page linked at the bottom ('Change settings') where you can set a price-per-tooth and add a custom question for them to answer: https://tf230.matteason.co.uk/admin
b) Please send me a copy of their answers, I'd love to see their drawings! There's a download link on the confirmation page and you can email me at the bottom of the same page. Actually this goes for adults' drawings too because a few people have sent me theirs and they're hilarious

#15This is remarkably adorable :)
Check the tooth colours in dark mode though, "white" is very much not white (it's black).

Given the source of truth is British English, the maths says no.
Ooh! Perfect opportunity to ask a question I’ve definitely not spent an inordinate amount of time wondering about without bothering to look for an answer!
Is maths in British English plural? Like, should that be “the maths say”?

Ah how have you set dark mode? I haven't got a dark theme via prefers-color-scheme or anything so whatever is setting it might just be brute-forcing white to black or something. I'll fix it if I can!

It's always "maths" not "math" but we'd always say "the maths says" and I've never questioned it until right now

Even in Soviet textbooks for English in elementary schools (which are garbage by any standard) both variants were presented (:
