- microcolonel 7y agoTake it to a brand consultancy, and it'll turn into “Universal. Time. Coordinated.”
- mumblemumble 7y agoI see it, more specifically, as "Universal Time, Coordinated". It never struck me as an acronym that demanded explanation in English.
- ubertakter 7y agoInteresting. I always think of it as the Universal Time Coordinate. Probably because I've done a lot of work in inertial coordinate systems (where the earth rotates in the coordinate system versus the coordinate systems rotating with the earth). Inertial coordinate systems have four dimensions, time and three spatial coordinates.
