      Ahem. Oops.

      But in a way that’s a good example for what I meant. You and me communicate time both in reference to the time of day, not a virtual time of the planet that means something else to everyone depending on location, and you easily could spot my mistake.

      So let’s just say I did that on purpose.

        Is being able to communicate about stuff like that casually, where you do not mean a specific time anyway, really worth the giant pile of pain that time zones add to actual scheduling?

      It is easy to remember, the am/pm system works the way that doesn’t make sense (10am,11am,12pm…10pm,11pm,12am) unless you mentally substitute 0 for every 12.
