# 5. If your system keeps time as the number of seconds since
# some epoch (e.g., NTP timestamps), then the algorithm for
# assigning a UTC time stamp to an event that happens during a positive
-# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap
-# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time
-# in these systems.
-# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for
-# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent
-# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI
+# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap
+# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time
+# in these systems.
+# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for
+# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent
+# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI
# timestamp would be obtained by advancing to the next entry in the
# following table when the time equivalent to 23:59:59 UTC
# is used for the second time. Thus the leap second which
#
# If your system realizes the leap second by repeating 00:00:00 UTC twice
# (this is possible but not usual), then the advance to the next entry
-# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivlent to
+# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivalent to
# 00:00:00 UTC is used. Thus, using the same example as above:
#
# ...
# ...
#
# in both cases the use of timestamps based on TAI produces a smooth
-# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval.
-#
-# This complexity would not be needed for negative leap seconds (if they
-# are ever used). The UTC time would skip 23:59:59 and advance from
-# 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 in that case. The TAI offset would decrease by
-# 1 second at the same instant. This is a much easier situation to deal
-# with, since the difficulty of unambiguously representing the epoch
+# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval. However,
+# although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct in both
+# methods, the second method is technically not correct because it adds
+# the extra second to the wrong day.
