Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

Ah, but in U.S. English 'math' is a non-countable noun. So let's just say we're both right. :mrgreen:

We don't need a prefix, we just use English. Need I say more?

Article in the Sun Goals section today has an interview with Eidur in which he say's he bid "£100,000 at a Frank Worthington
charity night auction, for a guitar owned/signed by the Rolling Stones, despite his wife kicking feck out of him under the table each time he bid. :D
