'Autocorrect in @washingtonpost <https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/>:
"Gare de l'Est" becomes "Gare de l'Eastern time." Article by @Claremch
<https://twitter.com/Claremch/>, "How Russian emigres scratched out a
living once they lost their world of riches." Also an editing lapse of
course, and no, I couldn't find this article online.'

(Not-so-fun fact: in one round of C language standardization, it took
months of repeated effort to get "time zone name" changed to "time zone
name or abbreviation.")
