Someone who uses the correct name. PA testing not PAT testing.


Isn't PA Testing "portable appliance testing" in a generic sense,
whilst "PAT Testing" is "Testing according to the specific UK PAT
rules for the testing of portable appliances" ? "PAT" is a term that
has outgrown acronym status and become a definable concept, thus
treatable as a pure noun beyond the inclusion of the verb.


Maybe, and people play RPG games and so on.
