Everyone I knew used Pet and didn't spell out the acronym.
Interesting thing about the PET, initially it came with a square calculator keyboard and in inbuilt cassette recorder, people hated that keyboard, then they bought out a version with a more traditional keyboard. However collectors now will seek out the one everyone hated if they can find one.
It was a nice machine for it's day. Iconic design that still stands on it's own.
