I have allowed myself to be convinced that mathematical calculations exist in the singular form: "Math"
I get graded on the quality of my papers, not marked on my essay-writing.
I mail letters marked with a zipcode.
However, I still live in a flat and close my coat with a zip, not a zipper; I'd rather eat courgette than zucchini (I'd rather spell courgette too).

Word verification: ststs. Which of course my brain decoded as "stocking stitches".
Now now, don't be seduced into losing your native language...
Well, if it helps, you're sharing out some of those words to others. After sharing a flat with you, I didn't ever really go back to living in an apartment.
After 4+ years of German, I occasionally post letters, too.
