Mixed Messages From Your Friends at The Preserve

This weekend I received the following two emails, only moments apart, from my apartment complex.

1. “Don’t forget to set your clocks foward because Daylight Savings Time Begins today!”

2. “Don’t forget to set your clocks back because Daylight Savings Time Ends today!”

The second one contained no mention that it was a correction to the first. It didn’t even include a *forward or anything. They were both equally confident about their knowledge of daylight-saving time and how it pertains to November 2nd. They were also both equally confident that begins and ends are proper nouns and that daylight-saving time is capitalized and has an s at the end of saving. I think they’re trying to instigate a fear-riot within the complex.
