"So, "sum" is probably a more justifiable spelling based on phonetics." Ok, I read a sentence and see the word 'sum' in a peculiar context. I stop, give it some thought and realise that the author meant 'some' but misspelled it because the words sound the same. I understand the sentence. Next, a reader who doesn't know English too well reads the sentence. Hmm, what does this word 'sum' mean? He checks the dictionary. He re-reads the sentence. He knows what all the words mean but can make no sense of the sentence. "Anyhow... I don't want to start a big battle over this." Indeed, nor do I. This subject comes up over and over again on Usenet, the same arguments for and against are trotted out each time, but the conclusion is usually this: If everybody posting to an English language forum makes their best effort to write comprehensible English then everybody benefits. "It just seems like sometimes it's trivialities like the SMS debate that take up more room in the forums than actual technical questions and solutions." I agree. That is why I usually just ignore posts with a lot of SMS in them. Which, of course, doesn't really help the poster.

He knows what all the words mean but can make no sense of the sentence. Actually, he'll probably see that "sum" in the dictionary is a noun, whereas it's being used in a sentence as an adjective and he will remain unable to decipher the message, but for an entirely different reason. :) Indeed, nor do I.

I don't spend much time on Usenet, so I wasn't aware that this was a re-hash. Anyhow... I can agree with your conclusion that people should make their best effort at proper English. I certainly have some of my own language pet peeves. I just thought I'd try and see what everyone thought the big deal was. Thanks for entertaining the debate.
