    A decision on whether to abolish the leap second - the occasional, extra second added to the world's time - has been deferred.
    Experts at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) were unable to reach a consensus, so moved the matter to a meeting in 2015.
    The US argued at the meeting that leap seconds were causing problems for communication and navigation systems.
    Can't people ever agree on anything at all!:confused:
