1. daylight saving

   Daylight saving refers to the practice of setting the clock forward by one hour during warmer months or periods of the year in order to extend evening daylight and reduce the need for artificial lighting. This means that the sunrise and sunset times are one hour later than usual. It usually starts in the spring and ends in the fall. The goal of daylight saving is to make better use of daylight and hence conserve energy. The specifics of daylight saving can vary by country and region.

   I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind...
