        It’s originally pronounced “cute” as that also prevents confusion with QT (Apple QuickTime).
        Due to everyone around me (physically) calling it Q.T., I have picked that up too. And then companies creating JDs write it down as QT, making me cringe every time.
        Thankfully, QuickTime is mostly not in use, meaning that anyone really posting for it would most probably use its full form, so I can know that Qt is referring to Qt.

          I remember trying to watch videos back in the day that required or needed QuickTime to be installed in Firefox. Man, that brought back some memories! Lol
