That really is NOT the issue.

The art / science of writing is to impart information to the readers. 
When doing so, it is counter productive to do anything that might 
confuse the reader, or even to break the readers concentration on the 
subject.

So, when reading the post, when I came to PPT I had to stop and try to 
determine what that was.  Yeah, I got it, but, it interupted my reading 
of the post, and my concentration on the subject matter.

In my opinion the writer did not do his / her best to inform the reader. 
  This is poor writing technique.
