Yeah, I don't mean in the Inigo way. I mean as in "We summed 2 and 2 to get 4."
And yes, I know it is actually a word. I just think it's stupid.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Question: is "sum" a verb? If so, what was wrong with "add" or "totals"? This is why English has eighty bajillion words.

Blame writing - written language preserves fancy words which would otherwise disappear from normal use.

Our wings are not tired.
Crap.
Had a full day of planned stuff and am having to back out of all of it, including getting to see K-Bug and give her a ride to the airport.
Woke up with a pounding headache (which may or may not be hangover-related - we had our product launch party last night in SF), but the constant sneezing, runny nose and general aches are most definitely not hangover-related. And I started new huge anti-biotics for the ear infection too. So add nausea!
I'm embarrassed by the state of my house and the state of me because the dogwalker will be here in about 30 minutes and she will see me in my messiest, yuckiest glory.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
hmm, no, that's just wrong.
Why? It's totally the strict math term.

I didn't say that it was incorrect, I said that it was wrong. Wrong like a wrong thing on Wrong Street driving a wrongmobile!
