Indeed. There are Americans who will tell me PST, when they meant PDT but forgot to mention that. Now I have to track the American DST calendar as well as European DST calendar to do the conversion.
There are also people who tell me GMT (because they think that term means "the time in London") when they meant BST (because in summer, London doesn't operate on GMT).
- tedmiston 3y agoMost Americans, at least non-engineers, will incorrectly say PST, EST, etc year-round when they actually mean PT, ET, etc. I have found this site very helpful for linking people to when they are confused or using them incorrectly: https://time.is/PT https://time.is/PT https://time.is/PST https://time.is/PST https://time.is/PDT https://time.is/PDT The time zone comparison feature is nice as well: https://time.is/compare/0800AM_14_June_2023_in_Cincinnati/London https://time.is/compare/0800AM_14_June_2023_in_Cincinnati/Lo...
