Dear John, Thank you for your interest in resolving this problem.
To answer your question I am referring to http://www.sagemath.org/tour-quickstart.html. I was reading this to get an idea of what SAGE can do, when I hit this road block :) "Sort of supports" my point? I tracked down a video of an interview with a professor of Linguistics, within which she addresses this very issue. During these dark times in America (and the world) in which the expert is increasingly marginalized, I am surprised to see Dr. Murphy's comments so readily dismissed here in an academic forum. Please visit her home page <http://www.sussex.ac.uk/profiles/115259> at the University of Sussex. On her homepage you will see that Dr Murphy's areas of expertise include "American English" and "British English". In watching the video, I was struck by the rich and long history of this problem. I was hoping that by presenting this information, others would have the intellectual honesty to move past their individual preferences and just consider the facts. Doing this seems the only way that mistakes like "Maths" will ever be corrected.
