Time Zones

One of my pet peeves is when well-intentioned people try to indicate the time zone when declaring a time for a particular event, but don't pay attention to the Standard / Daylight distinction. Example: If I want to setup an 11:00 AM call in my local time zone here and now, I would specify it as 11:00 AM EDT, indicating eleven AM Eastern Daylight Time. However, I often see people always using EST, indicating Eastern Standard Time, even when we are on Eastern Daylight Time.

It's really the little things in life than can get deep under one's skin.
