Central Time

[japan4eva]

I recently saw some American adverts, and when it said what time it was on it said something like 8 7 central. In my country we just put 5:00PM or 3:30PM or whatever. But this I absolutely did not get at all! What does it mean?

It's a time zone in America (;

When they say it like that, it shows the time zone.

For example:

8/ 7 central. It'll show at 8 if you're in the eastern time zone, and 7 if you're in the central.

Thanks, that makes sense then. For a moment I thought America had different numbers...

^ No, haha. Time zones can be confusing a lot of the time. Especially if you don't live over here. ;D

You're welcome. When I was a little kid, I would get confused all the time. xD

In the U.S, we have four different time zones. Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. If something is on at 8 in eastern, it will be on at 7 in Central, 6 in mountain, and 5 in pacific.
