Sometimes, Some Time and Sometime

Want to hate English while feeling dark and moody? Note that these mean different things:

sometime.. some time.. sometimes..

As I'm writing this tip I have the Depeche Mode song "Sometimes" in my head. "Sometimes" means "now and then" or "occasionally," so when they wrote the lyrics "Sometimes I question everything," they used it properly. Thank goodness! I'd hate my college memories to be tainted by a love of bad usage.
"Sometime" means "at some unspecified time": Let's get dinner and reminisce over Depeche Mode sometime.

"Some time" means "quite a while": I think I'll spend some time listening to that old Depeche Mode tape again.
