Today's pet peeve:
People who don't understand the difference between "EST" and "EDT," so they use "EST" all year round because they think it stands for "EaSTern time."
Or something stupid like that.
Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Time. Daylight Saving Time began last weekend, so it's now EDT.
Why is this difficult?
On a related note: Daylight SAVING Time. Not SAVINGS. It ain't a bank, people.
God, I can't wait til I start writing my cranky old man letters to the editor.

I'm actually one of those people who never has any idea if it's daylight saving or not. How am I supposed to know which one is standard and which one is changed? Having said that, I never use EST or EDT -- it's just New York time, and the rest of the world should know it.
