I personally pronounce each letter individually, but I’ve heard Posford pronounce it as a single word (it was during an interview)

Oh tee tee…....  LOL  LOL  LOL
One of my friends used to pronounce it like that and it always sounded to me very funny!
I think OTT as one word is the correct prounounciation although it sounds german a lot!!!
Like “onkel ott” or something :D

O.T.T. is supposed to be the common abbreviation for Over The Top, isn’t it?
That’s why I pronounce each letter seperately

I always assumed thats what he meant

I’ve always seen it written as Ott.  I do remember early on, though, I’d see it as OTT.  But Ott is cooler and much more l337.

all we’ll say is the source is someone within the twisted camp, however, we don’t know if we should just be droppin’ names like that without their permission wink

we can assure you though, if anyone would know, it would be our source… we can say this.. it was one of the many simons smile

I once read on wikipedia (although cant find the article now…) that his name was derived from the famous ethnobiologist Johnathan Ott… whether thats true or not I dont know - but since then I’ve always pronounced it as one word.

If you haven’t figured it out already…it’s “Ott” pronounced as a single word. Ott confirms this himself on the Twisted DVD and would like to clear it up once and for all smile

Actually I thought it was Oh Tee Tee until a friend said it wasn’t, because my winamp automatically tagged all my CD tracks as “O.T.T.”, and a song was tagged “OTT Meets Billy the Kid”.
Damn winamp raspberry
