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.

That's very cool...I don't get the "maths"'s Commonwealth style, do you have any links to enlighten me?

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.
