Heard it on XM today and they said 1.26 micro seconds, which is millionths of a second. Too many reporters using terminology they don't understand. One is off by a factor of 1,000. I'd like to know which is correct.

A one-time change, if I read it correctly. The axis shifted. It isn't continuing to shift.
And I want my millionth of a second back.

A permanent change, yes. I'm saying that we aren't losing a millionth of a second each day. Reset your atomic clock once, and you're good.
