Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Daylight Saving Time (not Savings). Most people get this wrong and I'm not sure why.

Pedants, not persnicks.

No, persnicks. You know how you're behaving.

Just changing it to noun form, you have a savings account not saving account. Coupons bring you savings on purchases.

We pretty much just use the word saving for computer files, healthcare when saving a life, and fictional heroes. I guess most people don't think of it as an action to save daylight.
