I remember getting yelled at by an American on Reddit once, when I asked what they meant by EST. Because of course America is the only country that shouldn't have to use country-prefixed versions of anything.

And of course, saying 'EST' doesn't actually tell me what fucking time something is happening. Telling me what UTC offset EST is, does.
