Simple maths
Warning:another diversion to Irish-ised English ahead…
The word is spelled maths. Notice the s on the end? Why is that? As I grew up in the US, it was called math-no s. Is it from mathematics, where there is definitely an s on the end? Well then, fair enough. But why is is pronounced mats? Isn’t there an h? Hmmmmm…
Oh right, back to the topic at hand…

2 x 5=10 squares the have been completed on the cushion cover.
3 x 5=15 squares that have yet to be knitted.
There you go… maths lesson over. Class dismissed.
Your cushion cover is looking fantastic. Interesting to read all your observations on our Irishised English.
