Dear Xlog developers,
would it be possible to change the time labels from GMT to UTC? Or is
there a reason for using GMT?
GMT is so old fashioned. It doesn't even exist anymore! Only the BBC
insist on using the abbreviation. For political reasons, I believe. But in
reality, they use UTC, too.
You might think, what the heck, it makes no difference, but that is not
true. Using UTC consitently would help newcomers to avoid confusion. There
is also a point in using modern (ie not 19th century) terminology. Having
said that, here in Britain, some people still measure their weight using
stones...
