It just struck me how dubious the term “Pacific time” is - a timezone named after the largest ocean on Earth. I’m in Australia on the side which is also on the Pacific, but my time is 6 or more hours away from “Pacific time” :P

Using the three letter acronym usually removes the ambiguity. For instance my European friends and I both live in “Central time” - but when you say CET or CST everyone immediately knows which time zone you mean.
