Hello Sebastian, Thanks for another great episode! I wanted to offer another way to distinguish these two words (actually even 2, but second is too mathematical :). People can think of the "sum" as a "Union" of "s" and "m" (it unites them) or as in your example about people saying something and all of that is being "summed up", in other words the Matters are United in a Short form. Best regards,
