>Sometimes it's nice to be able to enjoy the extra sunlight in the evenings by having the clock switch forward one hour in the spring. The time change for daylight savings time helps to give us a bit more light in the evenings and makes days seem longer. Unfortunately, it also means that our clocks change twice a year, which can be confusing and is not easy to get used to. Changing the clocks twice a year also takes a lot of energy, which can be a problem in areas that do not get much natural sunlight—like parts of the US. If we got rid of daylight savings time in the US, our clocks would only change once a year, which would be easier to remember. However, it could also mean more darkness in the evenings, so it's a difficult decision to make.
- squarefoot 4y agoCouldn't resist and had to ask directly to it:) > is writing "daylight savings" in place of "daylight saving" considered an error? > No, it's not an error. "Daylight savings" and "daylight saving" have the same meaning. "Daylight savings" is just a different way to say "daylight saving". It's like saying "ice cream" and "icecream" - the words both mean the same thing, but some people choose to say one way and some people choose to say the other way.
