One ’s’ in ‘Daylight Saving Time’ folks

March 12th, 2007

There’s only one thing that drives me nuts about daylight time; people (nearly everyone) who insist on calling it “Daylight Savings Time”. There are no savings folks, you can’t deposit sunlight into your bank account. At least you can’t at my bank, where you’re having a good day if you get to deal with someone who can successfully deposit real money into your account. Other than that, I love daylight time… I get to sleep longer without being bothered by the pesky sun.
It’s Daylight Saving Time. If you need practice, repeat the following sentence a few times before bothering me.

“I don’t want to pay Microsoft $4000 for the hotfix to make the Daylight Saving Time change on my Windows 2000 machines, can you help?”
