Not everything is English, folks. UTC is for Universale Temps

adjective follows the word it modifies, with very few exceptions.

Then wouldn't it be Temps Universale Coordinaire?

Good point. This should be reported to the French language police!

Roy, I think that as others have posted, it is neither English nor
French, but a *******isation that doesn't concede either language to be
the better for expressing the meaning. The diplomacy aspect of striking
standards no doubt!
