Timezones are. US timezones aren't. It's only in my mid-40s I even had to start learning the names of the US ones, because US colleagues in big companies kept using them under the assumption we all knew. We didn't. I have never lived or worked in the US and don't want to. > For reference I believe right now it’s UTC-4 because of the additional > silliness of daylight savings time. +1 to that > I am not sure why you felt need for the pointless straw-man argument about > Fahrenheit, I got what you were saying. It's not just you and this was nothing personal. The FreeDOS people do the same. Both Red Hat and SUSE did the same internally. A few years I bought the UK English edition of a pop science book from one of my favourite webcomics writer/artists, Zach Weinersmith. It exclusively used only feet, pounds, fahrenheit etc. throughout. I was bitterly disappointed, said so on Twitter, and he responded, very negatively. I understand feet and miles. I follow a single Youtube channel, a Canadian motorcycling one, and it uses SI for mass and imperial for distance, and that is a British thing too. I don't understand ºF. I do not know what a nickel is. It's a metal to me. I do not know how much a dime is. I know they are coins. I do not know the denomination. And yet multinationals use these as if they were universal. e.g. Nickelodeon. They aren't. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
