This is fine except that you need to specify which time zones you are talking about. The U. S. has five (or is it six) counting Hawaii. I don't know about the other countries you mention.    RayH Joined on Sat, Mar 22 2008 CA, USA Regular Member (672) Native speaker of U. S. English. Not a grammar expert.

	CalifJim  #536482  Fri, 04 Jul 08 02:49 AM Abil local standard time Local standard time varies minute by minute as you move across the globe from east to west.  Each country covers a large territory, so each country has an infinite number of local standard times.  I'm sure you don't really mean 'local standard time'. If you chose a specific city in the U.S., your statement would make more sense.

	CalifJim  #536510  Fri, 04 Jul 08 03:51 AM  Oh, yes!  In Los Angeles it's 8 pm and in New York it's 11 pm, for example.  In Denver it's 9 pm, and in Chicago it's 10 pm.  But in Honolulu it's 3 pm!  (I think I have these right.)  CJ     CalifJim
