    EST v. EDT

    I’m glad I’m not the only one consistently perturbed by this.

    From Predictably Unoriginal:

    Something that has been driving me absolutely nuts lately is peoples’ use of EST. “Can we set something up for Monday at 11 EST?” No, we can’t. Want to know why? Because it is NOT Standard time. Daylight Savings Time makes spring and summer fall into Daylight time. We can set a meeting up for Monday at 11 EDT. No one seems to know that EST or CST or MST or PST do not apply all year round. How is that so difficult to be educated about??

    I know, it’s an incredibly ridiculous thing to be bothered by, but I’m a quasi-ridiculous person.

    Learn it – after “Spring Forward,” you are in Daylight time. After “Fall Back,” you are then in Standard time.
