Reuters:
The U.S. Senate voted unanimously on Tuesday to make Daylight Saving
sTime permanent, a move supporters say would make winter afternoons brighter and end the twice changing of clocks.The measure still needs approval from the U.S. House of Representatives and the backing of President Joe Biden. On Sunday, most of the United States resumed Daylight Saving
sTime, moving ahead one hour. The United States will resume standard time in November 2022.
(Grammar note: Pluralizing the “saving” in “daylight saving time” is so common that it’s now accepted (and apparently either house style at Reuters or the mistake slipped past their copy desk), but formally, it’s singular. My mnemonic: there’s only one “s” in “DST”. Update: The Reuters copy desk has caught the mistake and singularized “saving” in the headline and article text.)
