Pretty sure the natural order in English is UCT not CUT.
- FabHK 7y agoBut historically there were Universal Times, several of them, and this was the coordinated version of them.
- organsnyder 7y agoEither one works, as long as the T is at the end. They both feel equally natural to me.
- kurtisc 7y agoI disagree. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adjectives-order https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adj... With this the type (?) (universal) comes before the the purpose (co-ordination) Despite the URL I don't believe this adjective order rule is limited to British English.
- kelnos 7y agoI suppose it depends on what is modifying what. If it's actually "universal time" and you have coordinated it, then CUT makes sense. If it's just "time" that you've both made universal and coordinated, then UCT makes sense.
