I just got invited to a meeting for a time zone that doesn’t exist this time of year. In the US EST does not stand for Eastern time, it stands for Eastern Standard Time (~November-~March), EST is not an active time zone, it is EDT Eastern Daylight Time. 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

    I’ve never heard anyone laughing in a way that could be written down as “ahahah”. Do you have any example?

    Laughing is, as far as I can tell, multiple “Ha!” as in “suprise!” there’s a clear exhalation before the a sound.

      I think Jimmy Carr’s laugh does. Check it out, it’s worth the watch.

      I’ve heard people exclaim, “Ahaha” or so before. It’s not rare but it’s not like it’s never occurred.
