I'll use the correct term when the practice of observing it ends.

OK I get it. I hate the switch back and forth too. Personally, I'd like it to be permanent DST.

Anyhow, I was replying to your comment because so many other commenters below were saying 'savings'.

I'm trying to educate, not hate.

No hate assumed. I'm all in favor of TIL moments.

And while we're at it, is it really saving daylight? I guess for all intensive purposes, it could be argued that the daylight helps you to see better for critical jobs.

So 'saving' the daylight to the ladder portion of the day would allow daylight at times when you need to climb on the roof and clean out gutters, or something.

I prefer my ladder portion to be right around lunch time. Nicer views.
