Just looking for opinions:
Which spelling do you prefer:
1. The more modern version 'Tier'
2. The old time or historic version 'Tyer'
Just asking.

The word "tier" also means level, layer or row of something, so using Tyer would be much less confusing? Also, I don't think the letter "y" gets nearly enough usage so I'll go with "Tyer"

I'll go with tyer..
Larry,
I once asked myself the same question & I looked at it as Scott has regarding other usage of "tier", so I also use "tyer".
Mike
being a third tier tyer, I go with tyer when I think about it.
Eric
Being a dresser of old style flies, I most often use tyer.

As an editor and writer I find tyer less confusing and believe strongly the job of the writer is to communicate without confusion.
Tyer. It just doesn't even feel right typing the other version. :)
When I think about it, I use tyer because it's less confusing to me. Here's why or rather I ask why: Why is 'tier', as in a level (I live in the southern tier of NY), pronounced differently than 'tier' as in fly tier/tyer?

I like tyer best, but have typed it tier too.
