Single inverted commas
Although it is usual to enclose a word under discussion in single inverted commas, I have chosen instead to emphasise it in red to prevent confusion with apostrophes. These posts are always short and clear so that they can be read easily on a mobile if you follow by email (the red may not show, however!) This is completely free.

Summary means a brief statement of the main points and summery refers to anything typical of summer.
Perhaps one way of remembering is that main begins with ma which recurs in the word summary.
