ummm, actually, that's UTC, and it's Coordinated Universal Time.
check the National Bureau of Standards station WWV.  you were
close, though...just had 'em in the wrong order.  :-)

actually, I'm not sure what order would be appropriate in a direct
translation from whatever language UTC is originally in.  btw, does
anyone know what language it's from originally?

btw, although most people already know this, UTC is the same as GMT,
which is also known in some circles as Zulu time (e.g., it is now
2204 Zulu, 2204 GMT, 2204 UTC, and 1604 CST).

later....
