Is there anything Standard about Standard Time?

Answer: Standard time is the synchronization of clocks within a geographical region to a single time standard, rather than a local mean time standard. Generally, standard time agrees with the local mean time at some meridian that passes through the region, often near the center of the region. Historically, standard time was established during the 19th century to aid weather forecasting and train travel. Applied globally in the 20th century, the geographical regions became time zones. The standard time in each time zone has come to be defined as an offset from Universal Time. A further offset is applied for part of the year in regions with daylight saving time.

The adoption of standard time, because of the inseparable correspondence between time and longitude, solidified the concept of halving the globe into an eastern and western hemisphere, with one prime meridian replacing the various prime meridians that had previously been used.

What are the skills of a language?

Alex Ar [27]

Namely, most human language feature four skills, divided into productive skills and receptive skills.

Productive skills: speaking and writing.
Receptive skills: listening and reading.

For a long time, human languages only featured one productive skill, speaking, and one receptive skill, listening. Writing and reading would appear at a later time within the ancient cultures of Mesopotamia (who invented the cuneiform writing system) and ancient Egypt (who developed hieroglyphic and demotic writing systems). Even today, many human groups living in isolated and remote areas have not developed writing and reading, relying solely on speaking and listening and on oral tradition (passing down the history of the group from one generation to the next) for their communication needs.
