gentooer,

I don’t understand all these daylight savings memes. Over here it’s on the last Sunday of March. Is it different in the Americas?

Only in certain regions, which goes to show how dumb it is. While it may have served a purpose early in the early 20th century to make better use of longer daylight hours away from the equator, by now enough of farming and commerce takes place regardless. Even portions of the west coast passed legislation to do away with it, but it sits in a holding pattern in congress.

gentooer,

Wow, I never knew that the day itself also was different in some places! I’m looking forward to the day it’s finally abolished here.

If the verb quote can mean quotation, I shall continue to use Daylight Savings as it is a perfectly cromulent word.

morphballganon,

So shortening and lengthening are the same to you?

I’m just talking about the change and cultural use of language over time. English is sloppy, rife with exceptions, and people go with whatever feels comfortable.

Morn can be such an ass sometimes. Never shutting up and always with the Shakespeare!

Morn is usually such a talker in the mornings too.

I hope you misspelled a word, maybe due to broken arms?

wise_pancake,

That and Mondays. I haven’t had my lasagna yet.
