Media refusing to call it Daylight Savings time

I'm sure someone will attempt to excuse this by claiming that "it was originally called Daylight Saving Time" and "that's the correct term for it," blah, blah, blah. Sorry, while I don't know if that's true, even if it were, for generations the common person referred to it as Daylight Savings time not Daylight Saving time. Precedent matters. Common usage over many decades becomes standardized even if it differs from some alleged "proper" whatever. So save it "smart guy." You're still wrong. Yes, the media is conspiring. Nobody cares about you defending or legitimizing the media bastards.

Does it matter? Not being sarcastic, just wondering?

Oh, thank goodness, for Dave and his constant monitoring.

Just, thank goodness.

If you dig into this I would bet money the Ass-sociated press or a similar organization came up with this change. Screw the Ass-ociated Press and its totalitarian "Style Guide." Who died and made them unelected arbiters of our language?

Dig, Dave, dig

Yeah, these are the same bastards trying to change safety deposit box to safe deposit box! smh

And the winner of the 2023 "Desperate Cry for a Blowjob" award goes to...

Anyway, I still half believe that your posts here are part of some weird, avant-garde performance art. Because, if this is reall how you are then I'm so sorry for whoever puts up with your glistening-in-crazy-sauce bullshit at Thanksgiving dinner.

I live in Arizona, which means IDGAF!

I dont understand , why would changing it from savings to saving mean anything secret. Couldnt it also just be a typo

Hey Dave the shortage is over, aluminum foil is more available and even cheaper than before. Stock up, line your ball caps with the stuff, so you’ll get some relief

I still say RBI’s and no one is going to stop me.

I'm not sure if this is parody or not. If it is, good job.

It's always been "Daylight Saving Time" (well, many, many years at least) and those adding an 'S' to "Saving" have been saying the wrong thing for many years.

There’s numerous issues we’re facing including a main media that is far too influenced by government. Them calling it daylight “saving” time isn’t one of them. It isn’t even a worthy topic within the very discussion of DST or changing the clock twice a year. For example, a discussion on why the sens/reps from other states won’t ok Florida keeping DST all year instead of the normal nationwide 8 months of it. We are mostly substantially south of the California-Mexico border. A geographical area that far south does not need to change the clock to accommodate winter sun around the 9-5 schedule.

Calling is "savings" is racist; Islamophobic; misogynistic; homophobic; trans phobic and, and, and.....

OP is triggered easily. I saw many publications this weekend calling it daylight savings time with an “s”. Even the double “s” calling it daylights savings time ran across my view.

When someone takes a stand against the infamous "ATM machine" travesty, I will gladly cheer our biased media.

Isn’t it called “Summer Time” in the UK.

I like that even better. The Brits don’t often get it right - except for giving us the Stones, Eric Burdon and of course, Lemmy - but they nailed it with Summer Time.

'OP is triggered easily.'

No doubt, he totally freaked the first time he saw my bug avatar. LMAO

So the thing is they dont want to use the term “savings” because they dont want people thinking about their finances, bank accounts, or savings accounts. Because of the state of the economy and other issues. Thats why all the media outlets specifically changed it from savings to saving. It doesnt trigger the same thoughts as savings. They dont want people thinking about the poor economy or their bank accounts in these tough times

Nothing changed. It was always Daylight Saving Time but people are careless about adding "S" to words. A prime example is the grocery store, Aldi. People like to call it Aldi's. Same for Nordstroms, Krogers, Eckerds, JC Penneys, Meijer’s, and Barnes & Nobles. Of note, Papa Johns recently deleted their apostrophe but they still have the "s".
