Whether the ACWST designation was invented here or not, it's become official enough for its own roadway sign, so I'd be a bit more hesitant to remove this particular one. http://www.confluence.org/photo.php?visitid=10280&pic=7 -- Tim Parenti

No, as that roadway sign says "CENTRAL WESTERN TIME ZONE", not "ACWST", and the sign does not contain any abbreviation. Although the sign's phrase suggests the abbreviation "CWTZ", I don't see that abbreviation as being in common use.

And the name in it's expanded variations of CWT WCT CWST WCST CWDT WCDT gets 25k hits - your naming it or abbreviating it makes it official! ;^> You're affecting the lives of ~.2k people there. -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
