I'm 40 years old now, and I can feel my list of annoyances growing as I age. If I'm not careful, by the time I'm 80, I'll be one of those people Meg Ryan's character described in French Kiss.
The way people abbreviate time zones is often wrong. I live in the Central Time zone in the United States. Depending on the time of year, you abbreviate it in one of two ways.
