Interesting in that the word is Greek and is pronounced Tee-chee.
Tyche is/was the goddess of [good] fortune. Also:
Hmm, as Jonathan Oakley was apparently involved with the Tyche
development, this makes sense, as many of the later QView projects were
named after gods and godesses (Minerva, Hermes, etc etc)
I asked a retired university latin/greek teacher I know and he offer
this opinion
"tie-key" and "sigh-key" are the pronunciations he used
