I know I shouldn't be an internet pedant, but I am a programmer so it sort of comes with the role. My bank has sent me a message telling me to call them and that their opening hours are "9AM to 6:30PM AEST" (i.e. UTC+10). That's fine, you might think — but AEST finished about a week ago! T'otherside, or most of it, is now in AEDT (UTC+11). So do they actually mean that they're open from 10AM? No, of course not (well, I assume not…). They're just using the "AEST" abbreviation as a way of saying "Melbourne time".
Anyway, I've ranted long enough that it's now after 10 over there and I can call them, regardless of what they mean.
