Is this for the controlling tty? Then it should be ctty.

Eeeew, an extra byte so it can look ugly.
What other special tty is there?

It's always been "tty" in the kernel as far as I know.
See "struct tty_struct *tty" in sched.h's struct signal_struct.

Various "ps" programs have always used "TTY" or "TT".
This makes "tt" more reasonable than "ctty".
