RE: Infinite Jest, The Second Steemit Book Club Begins This Monday: Details Inside

in #books8 years ago

Regarding the time of the event:

Time: 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. PST / 9 p.m. EST / 2 a.m. GMT / 11 a.m. (Tuesday) UTC

I may be going daft but, GMT is the same as UTC. They are posted as differing in time and day. Furthermore, by March 13th, much of the U.S. will be on "savings time", which is different than "standard time" as in EST and PST. To add to the confusion, I live in Arizona which has Mountain Standard Time (MST) all year round.

Personally, I prefer going by UTC in global events. People can just calculate their time plus or minus the UTC. I'm UTC -7 in Arizona. That "11 AM (Tuesday) UTC" looks wrong, unless the event occurs in the wee small hours of the morning in the U.S.

On the bright side, there probably won't be anyone from North Korea, where their top of the hour is the bottom of our hour (I kid you not!).

Finally, if I could have the time of the event in the correct UTC or military Zulu Military Time, I would be much obliged. Thank you for your consideration.

Yeah you're right. Time edited. Thank you!!
