I haven't noticed this. Whenever I see a writer use the term "Mum," I presume that term is appropriate for that person's childhood and upbringing.
Maybe the writer grew up in England? Maybe the writer's mother/father is from England? Who knows?
Don't you be worried about **** like that. You've gotta control your "Walter." (See The Big Lebowski, if you don't follow.)
Just let it go. Life's too short to be worried about **** like that.
Besides . . . football season will be here soon, and we'll have plenty of other things to worry about.
