I am guilty of introducing UTC into the 'Edit Me' rules for clarity and others have followed since, e.g. in #59, Alan wrote:

Quoted message:

Timing for submissions:
Let's cut off at midnightMin 23rd of Feb UTC.

While wondering what was meant by "midnightMin", I realized that Alan's 23rd could be a day off in Mongolia but not in Alaska.

Hmm ...

Sometimes m or M is typed by accident, hitting that key instead of , (comma).

It should have read "Midnight Mon 23rd Feb". But butterfingers here mistyped it.
