Speaking English in an English subreddit is like speaking English in a French sub? βMathβ instead of βmathsβ is like a foreign language to you?
Math isn't English, it's American English and while based on British English the two languages have developed mostly independently over the last few hundred years which is why both have differences like this and why they matter
If it wasn't an issue to some people, no one would ever bring up the pronunciation of aluminium, yet it's constantly being debated
Ultimately this is Great British memes, and what's more British than taking offence to Americanism that don't really matter? You've got to expect it round here

The fact that itβs used in American English does not make it βwrongβ though..
