DT

StarCraft 2 players use DT to refer to the Dark Templar, a dangerous Protoss unit. The DT is a permanently-cloaked assassin, which opponents can see only when it is in range of a Detector (a unit or structure that has the Detection ability).

Protoss players unlock the DT after building a Dark Shrine. They can then use the DT's cloaking and teleportation abilities to sneak behind enemy lines and damage their production and supply facilities.

People who use DT to mean "dang typos" also typically take the time to correct their typos. These corrections may take the form of another full message ("I meant pizza, not dizza. DT!") or an abbreviated correction (*pizza - DT!).

Fans of the progressive metal band Dream Theater sometimes abbreviate the band's name to DT. You're most likely to encounter this acronym in forums or on social media, when fans are discussing DT, their concerts, or their music.

DT was founded in 1985, by guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, and drummer Mike Portnoy. (At the time, the band's name was Majesty.) Petrucci and Myung have remained with the band since its formation, joined by a rotating lineup of drummers, singers, and keyboardists.

Some of DT's more popular albums include:

• Images and Words
• Octavarium
• Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
