- logicchains 8y agoMaybe depends on the industry?
- tluyben2 8y agoThere is; I work with teams / partners in the US/EU/AU. Ofcourse I can just check the person who writes it and jump to their time frame, but why not just say 14:00 and preferably a timezone.
- reaperducer 8y agoThe people I work with add city names after times when they're speaking to people in mixed geographies. They say "today at noon, Chicago time." Or "9am Los Angeles." It's become so habitual that they'll even use a city name without thinking if they need to. For example, saying "4pm Biloxi time" to someone in Chicago, which is the same time. But at least it eliminates any ambiguity.
- tluyben2 8y agoIt would there :) Anywhere outside the US, it would make no sense at all. I watched enough tv series to know this type of thing, but people who do not would have no clue what you are talking about... But yes, depending on your audience, do what works ofcourse.
