Nice to know you're still alive and "kicking" :-P Yep, we all know
the dictionary pronunciation is "tier". Tyer sounds and reads a helluva
lot better, don't you think!

OK, I kept quiet until Jimmy spoke up. If you write for Fly Tyer
magazine, you'll learn that they DEMAND that you spell the person
"fly-tier." They specifically note that they used the "incorrect" fly
tyer because it looked better. If you check the Outdoor Writers of
America style manual, it reads,
"fly-tier (n) One who ties artificial flies. Not fly tyer."
cheers
