The missing "s" is why you find it annoying? I find it annoying because of the implied phrase left out ... "Do the math, dumbass." By the same token, these 'murcan ears find the Brit "maths" to be a bit too cute, Oxbridge twee, perhaps. It's annoying where other B/A differences are normally not. The varied and proper use of "arse", for example, is a lesson to us. "Maths" just sounds snotty.

Well, I don't like Americans using the Briticism� "pressurized" instead of clipped American� "pressured."�One less syllable to worry about. Do the math.

Two wrong don't make a right. Do the maths.

'Do the math' sounds like someone imitating a speech impediment as well as being wrong.
MATHematicS = maths.
So there.

Add it up, subtract the plural, multiply like crazy and divide the people. Anarchy!

If you insist on the irritating 's', then I am afraid that I insist you spell it -- math's -- like any other good contraction.
