swallowing words while giving head

Just so you know, daylight saving time actually does not have two s's. Daylight Savings Time is gramatically incorrect. However, it's a bit more pleasant on the ears.

Happy spring, yo.

What, is there some committee that decides whether or not Daylight Savings Time has two s's or not? And I think that's perfectly grammatically correct. Daylight Savings Time. The Time of Savings in the Daylight bank. That's how I remember it. Daylight Saving Time would be the Time to Save Daylight. We don't do a thing. We just set our clocks forward an hour, and the daylight does the rest for us! That is why its the Time of Savings, not the Time to Save.

Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar examples would be dog walking time or book reading time. Since saving is a verb describing a single type of activity, the form is singular.

That assumes it is when you "save" time, and not the time of saving. If it were daylight Savings time, savings would not be a verb. it would be a proper noun. which is why its capitalized.

besides. Daylight Savings Time sounds better, so it's right.

Where I live we don't even do the Daylight Savings Time thing.
