acmart.cls
the acmart.cls latex2e style is pretty much forced on authors
who publish with the ACM.
Today it can be downloaded from

Fixes for Problems with acmart.cls
ACM TELO name
The current version of acmart.cls,
2022/04/09 v1.84,
omits "and Optimization" from the
TELO journal name
in both journalName and journalNameShort
Work around
Update journalName and journalNameShort by hand?
The online ACM TELO not using journalNameShort
Recent articles published by the ACM in its
digital library
(e.g.
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3539738
use the full journal name (i.e. not journalNameShort).
However acmart.cls uses journalNameShort.
Work around
Update journalName and journalNameShort by hand?
acmart.cls fails if renamed
It is difficult to use pdflatex if acmart.cls
is renamed
(e.g. to reflect the version actually used).
This makes it difficult to maintain multiple
papers published with the ACM at different times
(and hence with different versions of acmart.cls)
in the same directory.
acmart.cls Missing number, treated as zero
LaTex says:
! Missing number, treated as zero.
A
l.75 \maketitle
Of course the error is nothing to do with
the latex maketitle command.
The problem was
\acmMonth{August}
fix
Use the correct format for acmMonth, i.e. \acmMonth{8}
