We all think about UCT all day long, ;-) but universal time is called
UTC. The acronym is far from obvious, because:
"The International Telecommunication Union
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunication_Union>
wanted Coordinated Universal Time to have a single abbreviation for all
languages. English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language>
speakers and French <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language>
speakers each wanted the initials of their respective languages' terms
to be used internationally: "CUT" for "coordinated universal time" and
"TUC" for "temps universel coordonné". This resulted in the final
compromise of using UTC." as I quoted from
