Daylight Savings Time or Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Savings is a common misspelling. Daylight Savings Time is a misspelling, but more common than the correct term. Setting our clocks one hour forward in the spring is often referred to as “Daylight Savings Time” even though “Daylight Saving Time” is the correct spelling.

One sees the same thing happening with with the words "regard" and "regards." Just another strange quirk of human nature, I guess.
