Draft: "Please select the offset corresponding to your time zone. Contrary to UTC, positive values to GMT refer to zones west to Greenwich and negative values to east to Greenwich (e.g. UTC-6 = GMT+6). Time zone: GMT, GMT+0, GMT+1, ..., GMT-9, Greenwich, UCT, UTC, Universal, Zulu".
Because of its defining expression UT has been departing from GMT for 120 years, but the difference remains inconsequentially small.
The wording above will get more complicated by mid 21st century as UTC deviates notably from GMT.
For the tz project UTC = GMT, isn't it? Can you suggest a better wording? -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
