How do you pronounce tibb
 

Yes I know it's been done a thousand times before but oh well

The correct way is tib

this

I don't pronounce it.. because I don't ever speak of this forum :o

In my head it says TIBB.

In big neon letters.

tib, obviously.

T-I-B-B

TiBB cause that's how it is, you don't say omg or wtf

the forum - but I only ever speak out loud about here to gav really :laugh:

But T I B B in my head

I never speak of this place out loud but in my head is Tib

to be fair you do say lol...

but no I say Teaeyebeebee

there are countless acronyms that exist which are pronounced as words
you wouldn't say omg or wtf because you wouldn't be able to say them

English Lang student expertise ;)

I used to pronounce it teeeyebeebee but it's now Tib for some reason.

I do Lang + lit :p

Oooooh the combined one?

Yeah

Tibbbbb

TeaEyeBeeBee

tib

T-i-B-B, it's an acronym so I treat it as one. Some popular acronyms are pronounced as words, yes, but only if they enter mainstream English, and even then for every person that says "lol" there's someone who will say "L O L", to go by that example...

t.i.b.b.

social disease

tib

Tib
Ain't nobody got time to be spelling all those letters out, come on now

Tibb sounds like the name of a rubbish dog, like a spaniel or a shih tzu

T-I-B-B

"C'mon Tibb! Here boy! No get out of the river Tibb!"

Tib. The correct way.

I don't say it out loud but in head tib, can't be bothered with the other way

Well I call Big Brother "B B" so it stands to reason I'd call it T I B B.

This

I read it as tib, just as I call people here tibbers. Life is too short to be spelling out every new acronym you come across.

Preach

So do the people who call it T-I-B-B say teaeyebeebee-ers :umm2:

Never really thought about it, I guess so

T.I.B.B

tee eye bee bee.

It's an intialism, not an acronym.

yea same here. or when i'm talking about BBUS, I say Bee Bee You Ess, i don't say Bee Bus.

Both ways are fine, but i tend to use tib or tibb.

T-I-B-B sounds a little like a radio or a tv channel commercial, like "T-I-B-B, Coming to you every night, bringing news from all things on Big Brother! T-I-B-B, a BB fan forum with no limits!" or something like that.
