Re: Daylight savings time ending Sunday 2am
What really gets me is how people still use the term "standard time" when DST ends. Why is that time "standard," when DST is used the majority of the time (appx. 8 month out of the year).
I know. It didn't start off that way when the federal govt. first mandated DST for most of the country beginning in the 1960s. (It used to be about 6 months long.) But as it has gotten extended in recent years, maybe DST should now be referred to as standard time, and the rest of the year referred to as Daylight WASTING Time.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.

Except for Arizona and other isolated spots of resistance where they lost their saving.

Originally posted by Leo Lakio View PostI think you could call that "asked and answered." The "standard" term comes from establishment of standards for clock time in order to efficiently operate railroads, as you certainly knew.
Originally posted by Leo Lakio View PostBut as for changing the terminology to reflect the time format used for the majority of the calendar year ... that's on the list to resolve right after we adopt the nearly-global standard of the Metric system.
What is referred to as "standard" or "conventional" in the popular vernacular can indeed change and evolve over time.Last edited by Frankie's Market; November 4, 2012, 07:17 PM.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion.
