If you really want to go that way, you could use something like this in your "Format value" action:  
`$if($eql('TTA',$upper(%_extension%)),$repl(%TITLE%,' tta ',' '),)`

> **Please don't use this abbreviated syntax!**

> As found in this [bug report](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/similar-actions-get-mixed-up/56456), the abbrevation of `$repl` instead of using `$replace` can result in unwanted changes. Always use `$replace` as stated in the [help.](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting/#string-functions)

This would replace the text `space tta space` with a single `space` whenever the extension of the current file is TTA. You have to adjust it to your needs and use cases.

As @ohrenkino told you: This will also remove the bold marked text from titles:  
Let **tta** and Cathode  
or  
Too young **tta** way
