A lot of the electricians I've dealt with actually call it "EMT" but
then again they are all fire alarm specialists not general electricians
so there may be some differences in common usage.

When hearing "EMT" almost everyone thinks "Emergency Medical Technician", not
"Electrical Metallic Tubing."

Just as you mention in your post about referring to the NEC as "code",
the context would pretty much nail EMT to mean conduit and not some guy
with some bandages. You've got to pick one side, Doug!

OK, try this: walk into the electrical department at Home Depot and ask the
first employee you see where the EMT is. I betcha the first reaction will be a
blank look.

Obviously the results would be different at an electrical supply house.
