| 943# | 864# |
| 944# I see the following points of dispute: | 865# Inspired by Mackin's remarks quoted above, earlier versions of this 866# file used "EST" for both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Summer 867# Time in Australia, and similarly for "CST", "CWST", and "WST". 868# However, these abbreviations were confusing and were not common 869# practice among Australians, and there were justifiable complaints 870# about them, so I attempted to survey current Australian usage. 871# For the tz database, the full English phrase is not that important; 872# what matters is the abbreviation. It's difficult to survey the web 873# directly for abbreviation usage, as there are so many false hits for 874# strings like "EST" and "EDT", so I looked for pages that defined an 875# abbreviation for eastern or central DST in Australia, and got the 876# following numbers of unique hits for the listed Google queries: |
| 945# | 877# |
| 946# * How important are unique time zone abbreviations? | 878# 10 "Eastern Daylight Time AEST" site:au [some are false hits] 879# 10 "Eastern Summer Time AEST" site:au 880# 10 "Summer Time AEDT" site:au 881# 13 "EDST Eastern Daylight Saving Time" site:au 882# 18 "Summer Time ESST" site:au 883# 28 "Eastern Daylight Saving Time EDST" site:au 884# 39 "EDT Eastern Daylight Time" site:au [some are false hits] 885# 53 "Eastern Daylight Time EDT" site:au [some are false hits] 886# 54 "AEDT Australian Eastern Daylight Time" site:au 887# 182 "Eastern Daylight Time AEDT" site:au |
| 947# | 888# |
| 948# Here I tend to agree with the point (most recently made by Chris 949# Newman) that unique abbreviations should not be essential for proper 950# operation of software. We have other instances of ambiguity 951# (e.g. "IST" denoting both "Israel Standard Time" and "Indian 952# Standard Time"), and they are not likely to go away any time soon. 953# In the old days, some software mistakenly relied on unique 954# abbreviations, but this is becoming less true with time, and I don't 955# think it's that important to cater to such software these days. | 889# 17 "Central Daylight Time CDT" site:au [some are false hits] 890# 46 "Central Daylight Time ACDT" site:au |
| 956# | 891# |
| 957# On the other hand, there is another motivation for unambiguous 958# abbreviations: it cuts down on human confusion. This is 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. | 892# I tried several other variants (e.g., "Eastern Summer Time EST") but 893# they all returned fewer than 10 unique hits. I also looked for pages 894# mentioning both "western standard time" and an abbreviation, since 895# there is no WST in the US to generate false hits, and found: |
| 961# | 896# |
| 962# * Does the relevant legislation indicate which abbreviations should be used? | 897# 156 "western standard time" AWST site:au 898# 226 "western standard time" WST site:au |
| 963# | 899# |
| 964# Here I tend to think that things are a mess, just as they are in 965# many other countries. We Americans are currently disagreeing about 966# which abbreviation to use for the newly legislated Chamorro Standard 967# Time, for example. | 900# I then surveyed the top ten newspapers in Australia by circulation as 901# listed in Wikipedia, using Google queries like "AEDT site:heraldsun.com.au" 902# and obtaining estimated counts from the initial page of search results. 903# All ten papers greatly preferred "AEDT" to "EDT". The papers 904# surveyed were the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail, 905# The Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Age, The Advertiser, 906# The Australian, The Financial Review, and The Herald (Newcastle). |
| 968# | 907# |
| 969# Personally, I would prefer to use common practice; I would like to 970# refer to legislation only for examples of common practice, or as a 971# tiebreaker. | 908# I also searched for historical usage, to see whether abbreviations 909# like "AEDT" are new. A Trove search <http://trove.nla.gov.au/> 910# found only one newspaper (The Canberra Times) with a house style 911# dating back to the 1970s, I expect because other newspapers weren't 912# fully indexed. The Canberra Times strongly preferred abbreviations 913# like "AEDT". The first occurrence of "AEDT" was a World Weather 914# column (1971-11-17, page 24), and of "ACDT" was a Scoreboard column 915# (1993-01-24, p 16). The style was the typical usage but was not 916# strictly enforced; for example, "Welcome to the twilight zones ..." 917# (1994-10-29, p 1) uses the abbreviations AEST/AEDT, CST/CDT, and 918# WST, and goes on to say, "The confusion and frustration some feel 919# about the lack of uniformity among Australia's six states and two 920# territories has prompted one group to form its very own political 921# party -- the Sydney-based Daylight Saving Extension Party." |
| 972# | 922# |
| 973# * Do Australians more often use "Eastern Daylight Time" or "Eastern 974# Summer Time"? Do they typically prefix the time zone names with 975# the word "Australian"? | 923# I also surveyed federal government sources. They did not agree: |
| 976# | 924# |
| 977# My own impression is that both "Daylight Time" and "Summer Time" are 978# common and are widely understood, but that "Summer Time" is more 979# popular; and that the leading "A" is also common but is omitted more 980# often than not. I just used AltaVista advanced search and got the 981# following count of page hits: | 925# The Australian Government (2014-03-26) 926# http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/our-country/time 927# (This document was produced by the Department of Finance.) 928# AEST ACST AWST AEDT ACDT |
