EST and EDT
EST means Eastern Standard Time.
EST is only from November through the second week of March.
The rest of the year, Daylight Savings Time is in effect.
Right now, it is 10:57 AM EDT, not EST.
5 Dimes also doesn't know what EST is, as they kept listing times as EST in the summertime.
So when you post Eastern time now, you should say EDT. EST is simply not correct at this time of year, and it's actually a different time than the one you mean.

This is a Plommer-like thread. Thank you very much!
One should simply use ET/PT on the Web.
WOW, never knew that!!!
From now on I'm just going to use both in the same sentence..........EDT/EST, as I will never be able to remember which is the correct one for the current time period
GOOD INFO THOUGH

People keep saying EST. Just say ET if you don't know what EST is.
The standard part means when we're not using DST.

I'm glad that I'm not the only person that gets rankled by sloppy use of chronological terminology, Yisman. I'm glad you started this thread, I intend to bump it everytime I see a mistake in this manner.
only makes sense.......
then you have Arizona w/ their odd patterns, as they are normally MST but are now PDT
I use ET in my poker threads.

First off Tony at 5 dimes is always right.... If you don't believe me ask him, he'll Fukkin tell ya pal. God consults with him before making decision, again just ask him. If he says it's EST then that's what it is despite any evidence to the contrary.
Moving back to EDT tonight. Ugh.
Daylight savings time starting back up.
I think Tony will give you a freeplay for this, but EDT doesn't start for 2 hours yet.
Is the guy that looks like a short Fishhead on the 5Dimes site, actually Tony ?
I bumped my thread from last year.
5 Dimes had the information wrong the whole damn time and did nothing when I e-mailed them.
I bet they have the information wrong again this year.
**** i forgot all bout that
We'll have to change this in the rules of the Best Bet Thread. I think I have EST up there.
love losing an hour of sleep
The Greek's start times are off by an hour all spring and summer...
I miss Rogue Juror!
2011 educational bump.
I always use ET in my articles, so never need to worry.
Yiser you should be bumping this thread once a month - I have EST in my tennis contest
Very few people know the difference but if I kept bumping this every time I saw someone mess it up, I'd be getting 8 posters insulting me for excessive bumping.
