You spelled the name of the thing you're trying to abolish incorrectly. :/



I'd contend the name of the thing is now actually "Daylight Savings Time" instead of "Daylight Saving Time" as it was originally put into law.

Language is descriptive. If everyone calls a thing X, it is, by definition, called X.



You're saying google's tendency to correct words spelling to ones it looks up in its entire database of text is conclusive evidence on modern usage of a word?

I'd say it's suggested search complete is probably more indicative about what "Everyone" is expecting when they type that term:
