When somebody writes EST in summer they mean UTC-4. Interpreting that as UTC-5 is almost always wrong.

- kelnos 6y agoRight, but that's because people are misinformed as to how timezones work. EST means UTC-5; people who refer to EST as current during the summer are incorrect. Most news outlets avoid the problem by just saying "ET" or "Eastern Time", which I wish more people would do.
