Call me at 12 Eastern Standard time…… Whaaaat?
What could that term mean to someone not from the US or Canada?
Standard time? Does that mean there are places where the time is not standard. Maybe thats where the saying “time flies”, come from,….or “time stood still”. That kind of stuff must only happen in the west though, because in the East they have “Standard” time.
Would that be the standard time for the East or standard time for Easterners. Are we talking China or Bostonians. Maybe its the standard time for anyone living east of us. For a Grecian it may be the time in Pakistan. For a Pakistani it may mean the time in Japan.
Does that also mean there is a Western Standard time…for Westerners? Anybody West of us. What happens when East meets West? Does time become unstandardized at that point?
What happens when there is Daylight savings time? More confusion.
Maybe we should say New York time, Miami time, something like that… probably makes more sense to someone from Timbuktu or Vladivostok.
How many of us would know what time GMT time is or UTC or Zulu time?
Just a thought.
