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

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!
