|
856 # Daylight saving time has long been controversial in Australia, pitting |

857 # region against region, rural against urban, and local against global. |
|
858 # For example, in her review of Graeme Davison's _The Unforgiving |
|
859 # Minute: how Australians learned to tell the time_ (1993), Perth native |
|
860 # Phillipa J Martyr wrote, "The section entitled 'Saving Daylight' was |
|
861 # very informative, but was (as can, sadly, only be expected from a |
|
862 # Melbourne-based study) replete with the usual chuckleheaded |
|
863 # Queenslanders and straw-chewing yokels from the West prattling fables |
|
864 # about fading curtains and crazed farm animals." |

908 # abbreviation for eastern or central DST in Australia, and got the |
942 # versus "AEST" etc.: |
909 # following numbers of unique hits for the listed Google queries: |
943 # |
910 # |
944 # I see the following points of dispute: |
911 # 10 "Eastern Daylight Time AEST" site:au [some are false hits] |
945 # |
912 # 10 "Eastern Summer Time AEST" site:au |
946 # * How important are unique time zone abbreviations? |
913 # 10 "Summer Time AEDT" site:au |
947 # |
914 # 13 "EDST Eastern Daylight Saving Time" site:au |
948 # Here I tend to agree with the point (most recently made by Chris |
915 # 18 "Summer Time ESST" site:au |
949 # Newman) that unique abbreviations should not be essential for proper |
916 # 28 "Eastern Daylight Saving Time EDST" site:au |
950 # operation of software. We have other instances of ambiguity |
917 # 39 "EDT Eastern Daylight Time" site:au [some are false hits] |
951 # (e.g. "IST" denoting both "Israel Standard Time" and "Indian |
918 # 53 "Eastern Daylight Time EDT" site:au [some are false hits] |
952 # Standard Time"), and they are not likely to go away any time soon. |
919 # 54 "AEDT Australian Eastern Daylight Time" site:au |
953 # In the old days, some software mistakenly relied on unique |
920 # 182 "Eastern Daylight Time AEDT" site:au |
954 # abbreviations, but this is becoming less true with time, and I don't |
921 # |
955 # think it's that important to cater to such software these days. |
922 # 17 "Central Daylight Time CDT" site:au [some are false hits] |
956 # |
923 # 46 "Central Daylight Time ACDT" site:au |
957 # On the other hand, there is another motivation for unambiguous |
924 # |
958 # abbreviations: it cuts down on human confusion. This is |
925 # I tried several other variants (e.g., "Eastern Summer Time EST") but |
959 # particularly true for Australia, where "EST" can mean one thing for |

960 # time T and a different thing for time T plus 1 second. |
927 # mentioning both "western standard time" and an abbreviation, since |
961 # |
928 # there is no WST in the US to generate false hits, and found: |
962 # * Does the relevant legislation indicate which abbreviations should be used? |
929 # |
963 # |
930 # 156 "western standard time" AWST site:au |
964 # Here I tend to think that things are a mess, just as they are in |
931 # 226 "western standard time" WST site:au |
965 # many other countries. We Americans are currently disagreeing about |
932 # |
966 # which abbreviation to use for the newly legislated Chamorro Standard |
933 # I then surveyed the top ten newspapers in Australia by circulation as |
967 # Time, for example. |
934 # listed in Wikipedia, using Google queries like "AEDT site:heraldsun.com.au" |
968 # |
935 # and obtaining estimated counts from the initial page of search results. |
969 # Personally, I would prefer to use common practice; I would like to |
936 # All ten papers greatly preferred "AEDT" to "EDT". The papers |
970 # refer to legislation only for examples of common practice, or as a |
937 # surveyed were the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail, |
971 # tiebreaker. |
938 # The Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Age, The Advertiser, |
972 # |
939 # The Australian, The Financial Review, and The Herald (Newcastle). |
973 # * Do Australians more often use "Eastern Daylight Time" or "Eastern |
940 # |
974 # Summer Time"? Do they typically prefix the time zone names with |
941 # I also searched for historical usage, to see whether abbreviations |
975 # the word "Australian"? |
942 # like "AEDT" are new. A Trove search <http://trove.nla.gov.au/> |
976 # |
943 # found only one newspaper (The Canberra Times) with a house style |
977 # My own impression is that both "Daylight Time" and "Summer Time" are |
944 # dating back to the 1970s, I expect because other newspapers weren't |
978 # common and are widely understood, but that "Summer Time" is more |
945 # fully indexed. The Canberra Times strongly preferred abbreviations |
979 # popular; and that the leading "A" is also common but is omitted more |
946 # like "AEDT". The first occurrence of "AEDT" was a World Weather |
980 # often than not. I just used AltaVista advanced search and got the |
947 # column (1971-11-17, page 24), and of "ACDT" was a Scoreboard column |
981 # following count of page hits: |
948 # (1993-01-24, p 16). The style was the typical usage but was not |
982 # |
949 # strictly enforced; for example, "Welcome to the twilight zones ..." |
983 # 1,103 "Eastern Summer Time" AND domain:au |
950 # (1994-10-29, p 1) uses the abbreviations AEST/AEDT, CST/CDT, and |
984 # 971 "Australian Eastern Summer Time" AND domain:au |
951 # WST, and goes on to say, "The confusion and frustration some feel |

988 # Here "Summer" seems quite a bit more popular than "Daylight", |
955 # |
989 # particularly when we know the time zone is Australian and not US, |
956 # I also surveyed federal government sources. They did not agree: |
