I just got invited to a meeting for a time zone that doesn't exist this time of year.

Its a pointless thing, most people probably don't notice, but its wrong.

Fake internet points to anyone who knows why DB-9 bothers me.

Edit: corrected a missing n in an eastern

Some people actually do start their actual, in-person laugh with an "a." Are you saying what's natural is somehow wrong?
