Default Use of N/A & N/A-T

Maybe I'm missing something but doesn't "N/A" stand for "Naturally Aspirated" and "T" stand for "Turbo"?? I have seen a ton of posts recently where people mention the "N/A-T" engine in their car. Thsi would be impossible!!! Naturally Aspirated means no additional power adders or forced induction! N/A would be fuel injection or carburation ONLY!!
Help me out here!!!
It has been a long week in work and I don't think the holiday weekend can come fast enough for me so this may just be a case of my mind beginning early shut down.

Whenever I mention NA-T I'm referring to converting my engine to turbo. So in that sense NA-T would mean a naturally aspirated engine that has been converted to turbo - NA-T

If I'm wrong someone chime in.

EDIT - In the SC community, if someone say's they're going NA-T instead of swapping, you can assume they're going to put a turbo on the NA 2JZ-GE rather than swapping in the 2JZ-GTE, an engine designed with TT's.

I have now come to the conclusion that any further attempts to work today are futile. All brain activity in now focused on picturing a cooler full of ice cold beer, a bucket with some Meguiar's car soap in it, and me washing the SC!! Enjoy the holiday weekend!
