Ryan’s Place

Another annoyance of mine: incorrect references to time zones. If you want me to meet with you at 11 eastern, 10 central and it’s the middle of June, it’s 10 EDT/11CDT, not 10 EST/CST.

If you’re in the midst of daylight savings time, you stick a D in the middle of it. If you’re not in the midst of daylight savings time, you stick an S in the middle of it, as you’re on standard time. Even better, since everyone mostly follows the same daylight savings time rules, let’s have you just use ET/CT instead of attempting to look embarrissingly intelligent.
