Believe me, I know what you mean. I've set my own (dual-time) clock to UTC for practical purposes[1] and it confuses a lot of people, even though the offset here is only 2 hours (3 with DST). This still doesn't make it bogus, unless I'm misunderstanding the meaning of the word. [1] I work for an airline and UTC is used in many places.
