Nvidia (who makes the RTX 4080Ti graphics card) can tell me the Ti is pronounced “tie” all they want. They are wrong. It’s “tee eye”. I will die on this hill.
Ngl I assumed this (pronouncing the letters as letters) was the correct way, because I thought that the Ti had something to do with a little element called Titanium, and last I checked that is how one read symbols on the periodic table.
I read the Ti in the periodic table as “titanium”, not as “tie”… I mean, if you don’t read them as the names of the elements, what would you even read, say, Pb or Hg as…?
Yes, of course, but I was trying to point out how claiming it means titanium doesn’t really work as an excuse to pronounce it “tie”; it’s either “tee eye” or “titanium”, but “tie” makes no sense.
They are referred to as Minifigures by Lego themselves. https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/minifigures
Lego is entitled to be incorrect.

Pretty sure the inventor of the “gif” stated that it’s supposed to be pronounced “jif” but he too is completely wrong.

That’s the best part. It is a reference to titanium.

“Pee Bee”, “Haitch Gee”?

Right but you wouldn’t say “the symbol for lead is ‘peeb’” you’d say “…P b.”
Yes, exactly. It’s either tee eye or titanium, but I can’t see how it can possibly be tie.
Yeah same, the company is wrong and I don’t care lol, I’m gonna say it right!
Their old CEO pronounced it correctly, it’s the new guy who’s dumb
Your stance is entirely reasonable and I support it.
