    They mean "Sum total" -> "Summary" As in, that's a more accurate descriptor(?)
  • effie 9y ago
    That's the geekspeak for '"sum total" should be rephrased into "summary"'.
    • komali2 9y ago
      Ah I see, thank you. Is it some sort of programming syntax or like, scientific publishing notation?
      • echion 9y ago
        It's regular expression syntax for, roughly, "substitute 'mary' for ' total'", which transforms "sum total" - " total" + "mary" --> "summary.

      Only in the sense that it's something to do with regular expressions.
