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

Come at me!

    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.
