Saving is used in the same way as saving a ball game, rather than as a savings account. Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings with an 's' flows more mellifluously off the tongue. Daylight Savings Time is also in common usage, and can be found in dictionaries. Adding to the confusion is that the phrase Daylight Saving Time is inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time would be better, and Daylight Time Shifting more accurate, but neither is politically desirable.

See the latest on which states have passed bills to put a stop to DST changes. As you can see, our Almanac readers are quite passionate about this topic! End DST, stop messing with the animals schedules.
Those that want to get up early can get up with the sun if they want. Mostly agree this practice is just another government intervention into citizens lives to show the control they have over the entire country.
We are not at war, this is not , there is no evidence showing any savings or change to electric or gas usage, at least not on my electric or gas bills?! Amend the old federal law and let us be free of at least this one effort by the government to control us. Thanks for reading. I personally think it is a waste of time.
The amount of sunlight does not change whether you turn the clocks or not. I would rather stay on Standard Time year-round and this is mainly because I am an early riser. I would rather have the sunlight in the morning and if we went to Daylight Saving year-around by the time we got into dark winter the sunrise would be very late in the morning here in Maryland.
Please practice correct English. Thank you! I feel strongly that we should switch to constant Daylight Savings time--no more "standard time". Why have it get dark at ?? It feels like every fall we enter into this weird kind of hibernation where it seems dark most of the time. DST does only 1 thing, it forces everybody to do everything an hour earlier whether they like it or not. IOW say you work a stereotypical job, during the summer you are actually working solar time.
We don't need DST, many businesses already have seasonal changes to their operating hours, if a business wanted to open an hour early in the summer they should have been allowed to do it voluntarily. It didn't have to be mandatory. The whole point of DST was so people would get up with the sun rise and then go to bed earlier at night to use less energy for lighting etc. In my opinion there is absolutely no value for it to be dark at pm.
People are driving home in the dark. Commute auto accidents increase dramatically. We should keep Day Light Savings time all year long. There is no reason not too. DST should have ended long ago! It disrupts sleep, and it's been proven that people have a hard time adjusting to the change in the spring, causing accidents and even health problems due to sleep deprivation.
It serves no purpose except to disrupt the lives of every person in this country. Who is the government to disrupt my natural internal clock which all animals follow? Standard is our natural time and messing with that messes with my system, my personal system!
My body belongs to me, not to a government. Consider the effect on the elderly, babies, children, families where both parents work, the mentally ill etc. Consider the effect on child neglect issues and domestic violence. Much money is spent to address these issues. Leave them alone. Stop it, there is no need for it any longer, leave it so we have a little more light in the winter afternoons, and longer summer evenings Every year twice for a week my system is messed up until it adjusts.
This is not something we need if we ever did. Leaving it DST all the time makes most sense to me, since "standard" isn't even five months anymore. After all "standard transmission" is now called "manual", since automatic is the most common in vehicles. Or, keep it Standard year round since that's best for our bodies. We have more efficient devices and lighting now than in the 's. Time change sucks, each direction. We should leave the clocks alone and follow the sun.
