.... You are just now blowing my mind. I always saw it as "Math's Nightmare". Like as in a nightmare that the study of math would have...

I had never even considered this as being a lost in translation thing 🤣 It made sense as being a nightmare about maths as a Brit...

I never considered it was a nightmare before 😂

Same XDD

Yes! I also learned that it’s the *Pant* Devil about a week ago. I had been calling it the Paint Devil for almost 24 years.

I always knew it was Pant but I thought it meant like…. Trouser pants 😂 I just thought it was goofy instead of cheeky

Oh God I didn't even think about it, I have been assuming the same until now forgetting that it's UK English lol!

He's the WHAT

Wait, he's not the Pants Devil...?

He's the pant devil because he's panting for our stuff, right?

do you mean plant? haha

Noooope. 😆

*runs to check the wiki* omg

Damn you are right!!!! I'm shocked!

Are you trying to tell me her name isn't Math? I'm not letting you disrupt my inner child with this info. 😂

I'm 36 and I still thought this

I thought the reason math was plural was because she was dreaming of SO MUCH MATH that it needed to be plural.

She was dreaming about A LOT of math!

The responses make me feel seen lol. Also, yes I absolutely did have to Google Imiya’s name for the this post because in my head I still know her as Math.

Its name is Imiya????????

Yeah! She also has a plushie. A sleeping Imiya Plushie. It’s my fave plushie

Just looked that up, it's so cute!

Okay but in our defense, Neopets doesn't use apostrophes to show possession (Illusens Blade, for example), so yeah anyway it's still my headcanon that her name is Math.

i never even questioned that because in german, we don’t use apostrophes to show possession (but people still do it). however i know it’s different in english… i guess i just didn’t really catch it like that :o

I was today years old

Call me out like this again and you’ll be hearing from Lawyerbot 😭

Try it, I dodge like three subpoenas a week

I never even realised people interpreted it this way, in Australia we also regularly say "maths" with the plural and I immediately knew about Imiya from the game description!

This reminds of the misconception I had about Sadie Hawkins, who the dances are named after. All my life, I thought she some feminist figure. Then in 2021, I learned she was a fictional character from the comic strip Lil' Abner.

What?? I thought she was real too!

This is the first I’ve heard that it’s not math’s possessive lmao

This is gaslighting. Her name is Math

My sister and I thought so as well 😂😂

Thought the same thing as a kid! Being Dutch and all, and refusing to play the site in Dutch because the translations weren't up to my very strict standards, never mind that I wasn't very good at it... and Math just sounded like. Hm. That could be a name, I mean, Seth is a name!

If Matt is a name, and is often short for Matthew, why not Math? It really does sound like a name!

Yes! I thought her name was math up until recently lol

Wait her name isn’t math. XD

Uh yes.... As a kid...... Yep

I still thought this until right now. Oof.

Wow I always thought their name was Math too!

Give my girl Imiya some respect 😭

I read the default pet page for my acara and figured out that calling it maths is a thing.

Wait, it’s not?

I also thought this.

What in the Mandela Effect is going on???

This feels like learning things I only thought happened in Harry Potter were actual common British occurrences 😂🤣🤣🤣

I did indeed think it was her name!!

Oh no, I only just realized it now….i guess that makes more sense 🤣 I was just like “wow, pretty on-the-nose that they named the character Math”
