The original meaning of the acronym PTT was "Push, Then Talk."
Somewhere in history, the comma was dropped and "Then" became "To.":-)
I had a colleague [retired Col] who essentially never mastered "Point
and Click" regardless of how many times I explained, "First point to the
'thing', then click." He consistently would click, then move the mouse.
Same kind of problem.

I have seen that with both PTT and VOX in Ham and commercial operations. The
VOX issue is well known. In PTT some operators develop the habit of starting
to speak before fully depressing the PTT switch. I've watched operators do
that repeatedly without realizing it even after they were aware that they
tended to do that.
