The word
Summery is correctly spelled in some settings, but badly misspelled in others. OhioLINK yields 31 instances of "summery," 17 of them being the right way to spell a word that's on the minds of many a New Yorker today as the mercury climbs into the 80s. (Actually, 12 are for a song title by Samuel Barber entitled "The Queen's Face on the Summery Coin.") The database also contains 13 records with
Summeries, which is in every case a typo. In
summary, don't let wondering what the weather outside is like distract you. It's definitely
summery. (Idyllic image of Sweden in summer, from Wikimedia Commons.)
