2775 # From Sadika Sumanapala (2016-10-19): |
2766 # I think the abbreviation LKT originated from the world of computers at |
2776 # According to http://www.sltime.org (maintained by Measurement Units, |
2767 # the time of or subsequent to the time zone changes by SL Government |
2777 # Standards & Services Department, Sri Lanka) abbreviation for Sri Lanka |
2768 # twice in 1996 and probably SL Government or its standardization |
2778 # standard time is SLST. |
2769 # agencies never declared an abbreviation as a national standard. |
2779 # |
2770 # |
2780 # From Paul Eggert (2016-10-18): |
2771 # I recollect before the recent change the government announcements |
2781 # "SLST" seems to be reasonably recent and rarely-used outside time |
2772 # mentioning it as simply changing Sri Lanka Standard Time or Sri Lanka |
2782 # zone nerd sources. I searched Google News and found three uses of |
2773 # Time and no mention was made about the abbreviation. |
2783 # it in the International Business Times of India in February and |
2774 # |
2784 # March of this year when discussing cricket match times, but nothing |
2775 # If we look at Sri Lanka Department of Government's "Official News |
2785 # since then (though there has been a lot of cricket) and nothing in |
2776 # Website of Sri Lanka" ... http://www.news.lk/ we can see that they |
2786 # other English-language news sources. Our old abbreviation "LKT" is |
2777 # use SLT as abbreviation in time stamp at the beginning of each news |
2787 # even worse. For now, let's use a numeric abbreviation; we can |
2778 # item.... |
2788 # switch to "SLST" if it catches on. |
2779 # |
|
2780 # Within Sri Lanka I think LKT is well known among computer users and |
|
2781 # administrators. In my opinion SLT may not be a good choice because the |
|
2782 # nation's largest telcom / internet operator Sri Lanka Telcom is well |
|
2783 # known by that abbreviation - simply as SLT (there IP domains are |
|
2784 # slt.lk and sltnet.lk). |
|
2785 # |
|
2786 # But if indeed our government has adopted SLT as standard abbreviation |
|
2787 # (that we have not known so far) then it is better that it be used for |
|
2788 # all computers. |
