I'm with you. Has anyone ever actually seen a math? Can you buy a math at the math store? Are there bespoke math craftspeople?

No.

I rest my case.

Is math in the room with us right now?

"Math" is a mass noun. You can't have "a math". It's like blood or love. You can have more blood or less blood. There might be units in which blood is measured that you can have a certain number of ("a gallon of blood"), but you can't have, unqualified, a blood or two bloods (well, not in that sense of the word, anyway).

You know we are adults who live in the real world, right?

I don't think you understand the concept of shitposting.

You can’t have “a math”
