confusion between Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4)

[Sam Joseph]

Is it possible that the local_time gem may confuse some timezones - for example Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) are both abbreviated to AST.

See AgileVentures/WebsiteOne#1097 for more details.

Any idea if there is a quick fix for this sort of thing?

LocalTime uses the abbreviations provided by the browser and those are the standard abbreviations. Nothing it can do to help, sorry!
