GlorDamar Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Another one for Pacific Time (West Coast USA)
Calyx of Isis Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 smartalekrj what do you mean est? I would assume he means the east coast of the US. In the colonies (US and Canada) We have EST (Eastern Standard Time), Central, Mountain, and Pacific. There is a time zone to the east for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia which is called, I think, Maritime. Alaska has it's own time zone (I don't think there is any other land mass in that time zone other than a few assorted islands). I don't know the names of the time zones for Alaska and Hawaii. I do know how Alaska got it's name. It's a perfect example of a language where there are verbs and few nouns. Everything is an ongoing process. Alaska is a transcription of the Russian pronunciation of an Inuit word meaning (approximately), "That which the force of the ocean is directed against." Now isn't that a delightful bit of trivia! <G>
Calyx of Isis Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Corrections for the topic starter. 3x US Pacific Coast2x England 2x U.S. East Coast Romania US western time ==> US/Canada Pacific Coast U.S. Central Time Zone ==> US/Canada Central Time <snip> Eastern standard time ==> US/Canada East Coast I know it's confusing for all you non-Americans. <G> By the way, where are the Chinese, "Russians" (I use it generically, I don't want to offend anyone), and Aussies?? They all have multiple time zones. What do they call them?
Innundo Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 US (-7 GMT) My specific state in the U.S.(Arizona) doesn't recognize the 'time change' the rest of U.S. does.... so even though I fall in the Mountain Time zone, it really depends on the time of year. So to make it easy, I just roll with GMT... of which I am -7 Heh
mech Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 i am from england. perhaps you could include a list of what each timezone is compared to gmt, that way you could easily see what countries like romania compared to the gmt timezone are currently at.
dst Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Romania is...GMT+2 plus daylight saving time (like the server time ) In short GMT+3 for another month I think...
