I refuse to acquiesce! I shan't let the King's English be sullied with all sorts of balderdash, blarney, bosh, blather, bilge and hullabaloo! I say!

Hey, nobody here wants to agree with you more than I do. I hate that I have to keep buying new dictionaries and learning new grammar rules because the lowest common denominator of choices wins out every time. Ugh. Laziness of writers, speakers, people rules. It's ugly.

Everyone needs to correct their posts to remove the s from Daylight Saving Time. This isn't a bank, folks, we are SAVING daylight!

Does this mean you or Yoda will correct the title for me?

Sorry, dude, this is no longer true. Merriam-Webster now says that all of these terms are interchangeable. (There's a separate short article on this on their site, but I can't find it ATM.)

The way it's done doesn't make any sense. It should be reversed, so that daylight would last later in winter. We could use an extra hour of light then, and we could spare it in summer. We don't need June days to last until 9:00; 8:00 would be sufficient. But we sure could use December days that would last until 6:00 instead of only 5:00.

For those who seek compromise, maybe we could take that idea and split the hour by just adding a half hour of daylight in the winter, and having a half hour less in the summer?
