An immigrant to America thinking he's an American?...naaw naaw thx

Someone living in Sydney (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41546796) and using "maths" in the Commonwealth style (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41280463) decides that someone like my foreign-born father who became a US citizen as a teenager, was wrong to think he's an American?

Bless your heart.

Most members of the Commonwealth - Canadians excepted - say "maths" while North American English uses "math".

An Aussie chastising an American for being insufficiently American enough should put their cork hat back on and drink an ice cold Foster's.
