Sorry, I have to be the one to add to your pet peeve. I usually prounounce Tau as you stated above. That's only because in Greek it is prounounced Tav like "off" with at T in front. I usually say all the letters in Greek pronunciation...or atleast how I learned it in class. Like someone said earlier, the way we pronounce it is the "Anglicanized" way. For example, Xi (we say it like Xylophone) is Ksee. Psi (we say it like sigh) is supposed to also include the P. Uhm, Oh! Iota is supposed to be like EE-ota, so on so forth.
Sorry if I sound like a miss-know-it-all, but, I stay on the brink of argument about this...I study this stuff
