As the annual media shit-stir over “daylight savings” begins, a Westralian man has had his foundations rocked after repeatedly seeing it written as daylight saving.
At first, he assumed the media were just getting it wrong. Every ounce of WA in his body was telling him that the savings are pluralised!
Alas, after consulting the all knowing Google, he was left questioning his entire existence. He told The Times,
“First I learned that my mate worked on a singular mine rather than the moines and now I’m coming to grips with the fact I’ve been pronouncing daylight saving wrong my entire life. What a timeline we live in”
While feeling a little ashamed, many other Westralians lept to his defence and told him that it was society that was wrong, not WA.
We spoke to his mate who said that he didn’t give a shit what the correct terminology was, he was going to continue saying daylight saving. Adding,
“I’m not going to change. Never been a fan of strict adherence to grammatical rules anyway. Every day the daylight is saved, ipso facto, savings, I’ll honestly bite you in the face if you tell me I’m saying it wrong”
You have to stand for something.
