How do you pronounce the word "TiBook"?

[ITASOR]

Having this (stupid) debate with my friend. How do you pronounce the word TiBook (as in the Titanium PowerBook)?

Please vote in the poll the way you pronounce it.

Thanks!

i say Tie Book
just like TItanium

Tie Book, totally. I mean, it's not T I tanium, right?

I think your friend is going to lose this vote in a landslide ...

I hope you're not the one who thinks it's teeieeBook.

Actually, I call it "laptop". Nobody would know what I was talking about if I said TiBook.

In fact, the only place I ever use TiBook is online. When you first come to say a word to someone which you have only ever before read, it can be quite bizarre. I got some odd looks for saying "Ess-sea-ess-eye" instead of "scuzzy", once. Though I think my way is better.

I have never heard it called Tie Book, its Tee Eye. Just like my A L book, its not named Al as in Bundy.

You've gotta be kidding me...

I've always said "Tie Book." But I've never heard anyone else say it aloud, I just assumed it was short-hand for "titanium book."

As a former owner, I can, with whatever authority is granted by ownership, semi-officially say that it is TieBook.

I've always said Tee Eye Book. AND I ALWAYS WILL.

Because I'm stubborn like that!

I think that the letters are pronounced separately, but then I am usually wrong with how to pronounce things so it probably actually is the opposite.

 

[irmongoose]

I've always spelled the letters out. But you know what? It doesn't matter anymore. It's MBP, mothaf*cka!

I have always said "Tie Book" because I thought it was supposed to rhyme with iBook.

 

[MacAnkka]

Neither. I simply say "Ti Book", the "ti" sounding like the beginning of "tits" Finnish pronouncing for the win.

I guess that means I say it as a word, so I'll just vote for the first option

haha. awesome

 

[Bibulous]

Neither, it's a "PowerBook" or specifically a "Titanium Powerbook"

TiBook is shorthand that is not meant to be spoken.
