Those interested in this kind of pedantry might also take care to note that it’s called “daylight saving time,” with no “s.”

It is a system of time for saving daylight.

It is not a sales event promising “savings.”

Frustrating to read an otherwise excellent and detailed article that makes this error throughout.

Both forms are widely used and accepted. Wikipedia has whole section about that:

Thanks at least for citing a reference and not just saying “language evolves” or something.
