Re: \"Tee\"-tor or \"Ty\"-tor?

funny cuz I always assumed it was pronounced "tit"-"er" no offense meant by seperating but I suppose there are 3 possible ways. does anyone know the correct pronounciation?

I used to pronounce it "ti"-"tor"

"ti" as in the word "tick" then giving a little more stress to the "t" in "tor".

Raul,

Most of us who have followed the story since the beginning have assumed it to be "Ty-Tor."

The Titor moniker evolved after he was TimeTravel_0. Titor is a derivitive of his original TTI handle (unless he's actually a "team" traveler rather than a time traveler
).

As you recall, circa November 2000 a person could register on TTI with a simple handle and no name or even log on and post anonymously without registering at all. However, to get onto Art Bell's "Post-2-Post" he had to register by providing a first and last name as well as a valid "regular" ISP email address (Boomer used his AOL email address [email protected] ). He had to make up a first and last name to do this. He chose a name that was similar to TimeTravel_0...John TiTor.

The "name game" to get onto P2P isn't just my speculation. That is how he explained the situation to Pamela.

Buzzmaker/JTFan came up with the "Tee-Tor" pronounciation for the radio program. When he was called to task for the pronounciation his explanation was that he really wasn't familiar with the John "Tee-ter/Ty-Tor" story, he thought that it was all an online RPG (he'd read the Titor/GURPS Theory posts at Anomalies) and he was just a guy trying to make a buck with a creative project through his friend Larry Haber.

Oliver Williams of JohnTitor.com has simply copied Buzzmaker's pronounciation. He's probably the least knowledgeable person of all people who are somehow involved with the story. He doesn't appear to have ever been involved in the story in any way...he didn't even know the URL for his own site while being interviewed on the radio. Like Buzzmaker, he appears to be "just some guy" trying to make a buck off of the story, differing from Buzzmaker only in as much as he says that he doesn't know Larry Haber.

That's probably true. At one time JohnTitor.com had a specific set of the Titor Gadget schematic drawings on the site. They suddenly had to take the specific copy off the site because of some "legal issue." This was according to [email protected] who may be Williams or his partner. JTE said that it was his "partner" who told him to take the schematic off-line.

It was only an educated guess but we thought that there was a copyright problem and they were legally advised of that issue by the John Titor Foundation aka Larry Haber.

The short of all the later explanation is that Buzzmaker, who admitted that he wasn't familiar with the story, made up the pronounciation. Williams, who also isn't familiar with the story, copied Buzzmaker's pronounciation.
