TBT doesn't make sense. It's popular but it's grammatically incorrect how people are using it. It needs to end in a B if you don't want to write 'bells' out in full after it. I also dislike how it's the same as the abbreviation for the forum name: I have seen this cause confusion for people.

TBTB or BTB are the only logical ones. I prefer BTB out of simplicity.

I've realized that now it may cause confusion, I'll have to learn to write btb now instead

It's got really weird lol.

Because I write TBT out of habit, I have started writing Bells straight after to stop people moaning about it lol.
So I write TBT Bells now just to try and please everyone ha.

I usually write bells or TBT, but I'll try and start using BTB. It's just out of habit, you know?

 

[Zanessa]

TBT because I hate the way the others sound.
BTB makes more sense, though. I'll probably never grow to use it, even if everyone on the site did.

 

[Hot]

TBT Bells. TBT doesn't make sense in my mind, I'm not used to BTB, and TBTB makes lose track of how many times the letters repeat.

 

[OmgACNL]

I just use TBT

 

[Kittykat364]

I use TBT but BTB makes more sense. I really use TBT because that's what everyone else was using...

 

[mattyboo1]

I say TBT

 

[lazuli]

it will always be tbt to me haha.

 

[mattyboo1]

I actually never saw BTB being used until yesterday.

 

[Silversea]

Always TBT bells here.

TBT = The Bell Tree + bells.
BTB = Bell Tree + bells doesn't sound right, the forum isn't called "Bell Tree".

Well the URL of the forum is Belltreeforums.com/ so I don't see a problem calling the money Bell Tree Bells

TBT Forums. TBT Marketplace. TBT bells.

BTB would be correct, but we see TBT everywhere else. We're just too lazy to include "bells" after.

 

[littleporkchop]

The mods and administrators use TBT, meaning this is the official, and only 'correct' abbreviation.

 

[Leela]

I would prefer to call them BTB since it seems more logical, but I just end up being a sheep and following the crowd :3

^ When they are referring to the site itself , The Bell Tree, then yes, of course.
TBT would, and should, be the official and correct abbreviation.

As for the abbreviation of this forum's currency, their opinions and comments here:

I know everyone calls it TBT these days, but I always found that confusing because TBT are the initials used for the actual site as a whole.

If I ever refer to them in initials I use BTB.

Like Jer said, TBT is the site initials and it always confuses me when people use it referring to our bells.

[Dreamy Luigi]

I say it as TBT Bells, 100 TBT sounds.. odd.

100 The Bell Trees.

 

[LyraVale]

I tried BTB, because it makes a lot of sense. I really gave it a chance, but it's not working for me. I'm going back to TBT. It's just what I'm used to, and I don't want to think about it.

Also, I don't think of it as an abbreviation. If I say "I love TBT" it's obvious I'm talking about the site. If I say "I love TBTs" then it's obvious I'm referring to something called a "TBT" and multiples of it.

IDK, I've never confused the 2. It's always been really clear to me what someone is talking about given the context they use it in.

Weirdly I got used very quickly to BTB. I would find it hard to go back to TBT. Maybe because I prefer the letter B more xD?

 

[mashedpotaties]

I feel BTB sounds best, as it stands for Bell Tree Bells. Saying "I'm buying 100 TBT" just sounds like "I'm buying 100 The Bell Tree"
