 It always confused me why the timezone option in General settings sais:

 {{{
 Choose a city in the same timezone as you.
 }}}

 For a long time I didn't even know there was a list of cities in the
 options dropdown as it defaults to UTC+0 and I would simply scroll from
 there to UTC+8 (my local timezone).

 Even after discovering there is a list of cities in the dropdown I don't
 think it makes sense for the tooltip to not make mention that there's two
 possible methods to fill this field (city or timezone).

 I'd propose changing the following line in wp-admin/options-general.php

 {{{
 <p class="description" id="timezone-description"><?php _e( 'Choose a city
 in the same timezone as you.' ); ?></p>
 }}}

 to something like:

 {{{
 <p class="description" id="timezone-description"><?php _e( 'Choose a
 timezone or a city in the same timezone as you.' ); ?></p>
 }}}
