j/k
anyway, you are correct and she is WRONG!

brush up on either your grammar or typing skills

it would be: I don't think she's crazy - I think she's...

and don't call my gf stupid.

�about how you pronounce TOTA.

I�m a firm believer in sounding out the letters like, TEE-OH-TEE-AYY

However she thinks it should be joined together like TOE-TAH

I think she�s crazy

What do you think?

IM WITH YOU 100% man!!

T-O-T-A FTW!

I hate the way it sounds too... sounds so FOREIGN sounding. LOL... I was like "WTF" when I first heard someone refer to TOTA as that! I was seriously confused for a sec... till I realised...

ok for once and all lets end this.

common sense will tell ya that it is Tee oh tee ayy . it has to be. you may say it toe tah but that dont mean its right.

logic behind it is the when u refer to this site in general u do not say hey i saw this on tah or hey r u on tah or hey can i get a tracklist of this set on tah. u for sure refer to it as Tee Ayy. in same regards it is Tee OH Tee Ayy.

for toronto in short ppl say t dot or tee oh ... when was last time sumone refered to toronto as to.

so TEE OH TEE AYY

now lets move on ... diabolic is lurking so something to make fun of shud be comin up soon

Your brilliant logic fails in the simple fact that it's still simpler and faster to say TOTA, and you sound a lot less retarded when you say "I met another TOTA last night" as opposed to "I met another Tee-oh-tee-ay last night".

You're a T.O. T.A. - hence - pronouncing each letter, despite taking longer, is the proper form.

See, you say TAs (Tee-Ehs) and you say Toronto Tee-Ehs or NYTAs (N Y Tee Ehs) so why not Tee Oh Tee Ehs ? Eh?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronyms

quote:

Acronyms and initialisms are abbreviations, such as NATO, laser, or scuba, written as the initial letter or letters of words, and pronounced on the basis of this abbreviated written form.

quote:

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language) who differentiate between the two terms, restricting acronym to pronounceable words formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the constituent words�such as NATO [neɪtoʊ], not [ɛn.eɪ.ti.oʊ], from the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, or radar [reɪdɑɹ], from radio detection and ranging�and restricting initialism to abbreviations pronounced as the names of the individual letters�such as TLA [ti.ɛl.eɪ] or XHTML [ɛks.eɪtʃ.ti.ɛm.ɛl].

I rest my case. If TOTA is an acronym, then you say it TOE-TAH, if it's an initiliasm, you can say Tee-Oh-Tee-Ay. Now we gotta argue on whether it's an acronym or an initialism...

Posted by Cosmic Fur on Apr-06-2006 05:25:

Actually, I'm gonna go ahead and destroy the initialism argument right here and now:

Initialisms are types of acronyms, and what separates them is that initialisms are strictly the initial letters of each word of the acronym, where an acronym can sometimes contain whole syllables, such as in the word radar.

Now which one is TOTA? Well, it stands for TOronto Trance Addict, so it can't be an initialism because it uses a whole syllable from the word Toronto.

Hence, it's an acronym.

Hence, you say it as you read it.

Hence, it's toe-tah.

Q.E.D.

And I thought T.O stood for Toronto, Ontario, therefore TOTA means Toronto, Ontario, Trance Addicts.

maybe he wasn't referring to the website.

Posted by naillil on Apr-06-2006 14:26:

Looks like we'll all have to agree to disagree and to each their own...

Bottom line: I wouldn't be calling anyone a toe-tah nor a tee-oh-tee-ay in public anyway I'll just stick to tee-ay if need be
