Daylight Savings Time
I was taking to a friend at work today when I mentioned the words “daylight savings time”. He, acting all smug, corrected me saying, “It’s pronounced daylight saving time.” Stunned by the sudden admonishment, I pulled up Webster and pointed out the following:
Main Entry: daylight saving time
Function: nounDate: 1919: time usually one hour ahead of standard time —called also daylight saving, daylight savings, daylight savings time, daylight time
Oh….in your face, hipster tier 3 guy! It’ll always be “savings” to me.
Speaking of DST, I move that we change the time that we move the clocks ahead one hour to 4pm on Friday. Sure, it’ll suck when we have to move the clocks back an hour, but that just means one extra hour of overtime. In my eyes, that’s a win/win.
