No need to be purposely misleading, (which could be construed as a lie), it
is only one of many definitions given by Websters.

Day Use is a term that is defined by either 5 or 7 below. Day Use is a
specified time or period, i.e.; 8:00 am to 10:00 pm would be an example of
Day Use as a specified time, and it would also be a time established by
usage or law for work, school or business. Of these two, 5 and 7, 7 is
probably the more accurate definition of Day Use.
