question for those from the nameless country (Or USA)


Recommended Posts

You guys have like 4 timeZones, wich one is the most representative as a country?(here we have canary islands, that are a timezone on their own, the good old GMT or UCT or ZULU time) but 4 timezones? That sounds serious, I imagine your mountain time would be  a nice average...

 

Yes, I got myself this nice world time watch, with 5 timezones, and have it perma-set on NYC, as a USA reference time,  because, well, Washington D.C. is on the same zone as NYC, an the first being the capital, I assume is at least your default political time.

 

btw, now is 1 PM and 45 minutes on NYC :aubrey:

Well, I guess the most often used time zones are Central and Eastern. I'm just using an educated guess, though, because that's what's used most often on television. But, why did you call the USA "the nameless country"? It sounds cool, but I don't get it.....

Actually we have six time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaskan, and Hawaii-Aleutian.  The de facto default (as there is no de jure one) is eastern, although because of the size of the nation, often times are posted in the format of eastern/pacific.

Countries have name, like France, Estonia or India, United states of america isn't a name, is a definition, like "United Socialist Sovietic Republics" or European onion union Is like the cunarder "Queen Mary" was christened "Pretty big boat" because that also applies to the Titanic or the German Gerald Gustoff...

 

I suppose you guys can just use your state name, because a state is sort like a country, here nobody puts "European Union" on his snail-mail address.
