Only people who feel offended over something as simple as an abbreviation must have ego issues. If something as little as this offends you, you probably should not be on the internet.

Actually you don't know who I am nor what I stand for here. I have a doctorate and refuse to let people call me Dr. 'so and so'. Because physicians work hard for that degree and they deserve that title. Therefore I am not going to confuse my patients.
I get the fact you are abbreviating yet I am simply making a point to educate everyone about what a PT is. Because there are no personal trainers that will say I am a 'PT'. The ones that do actually have legal issues they run into. Because my governing body will go after those individuals. So, better not assume I have ego issues without knowing my whole story here buddy. I was not offended. Just making a point to help educate everyone. And I will continue to be on the internet looking for idiots like you that want to turn a simple educational moment into a personal insult. Maybe you are the one with ego issues.
Oh, and what other abbreviations are there for PT that relate to health/fitness/medicine?
