- joekrill 9y agoIn the US, and North Carolina specifically (where Duke University is located) it's still the 30th. So you're probably good. At least for another 3 hours (it's 2pm there now).
- lhorie 9y agoJune 30 5:00pm EST, so yes you have about 3 hours
- joekrill 9y agoStrange that they specify EST... currently it's daylight savings time, so it should be EDT, shouldn't it?
- rpeden 9y agoIt should be, but people often forget whether we're currently in standard or DST. I usually just hedge my bets and write Eastern. :)
- benatkin 9y agoEST is shorter than Eastern and more easily recognizable than ET, which is a more heavily overloaded acronym. I'm sure it's used by people who are aware of the technical meaning and not forgetting. There's no quick and reliable way to refer to non-EDT EST during the non-daylight months without mentioning the absence of daylight savings time or specifying the UTC offset.
- yoaviram 9y agoYou can apply in hindsight.
