Also, they’ve sucked ever since they stopped having just basic smiley faces.

Come at me!

      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.

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

        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.

              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.
