No. No. No.
You have something miswired. White wire should never be connected
to a bare wire except in the main panel.

You misread the sentence. It does NOT say white wires are tied with
bare wires. It says white wires are tied together, and the bare wires
are tied
together and not with each other. Also, it says that I DID NOT TIE
them,
it implied they were ALREADY tied and this alone should give you a
CLUE that
you misread something.

If the timer does not have a neutral wire, or a separate power
source, such as a battery, then there will always be leakage,
as that is how it gets its power.

The sentence does not ask if to disconnect a bare wire from the
timer,
It asks whether the fact that the regular 2-way switch is NOT
connected to
the bare wire has something to do with the leak appear on the timer
switch and not the
regular 2-way switch.

You should probably get some experienced help with reading first.

It says white wires are tied together, and the bare wires are tied
together and not with each other.

No, your sentence does *not* say the "white wires are tied together,
and the bare wires are tied together and not with each other". That
may have been what you meant it say, and that may be what you *think*
it means, but physically, as written, with the combination of letters
you put together it *says* "The white wires and bare wires are tied
together". What it *says* is not even open to discussion. However,
how a reader might interpret the words could be.

I ran it past an English teacher at one of our local schools and here
is her reply:

"The white wires and bare wires are tied together"

The English teacher is a moron. Even though the sentence was not
grammatically correct, anyone with at least half a brain could have
figured out what it meant, and your an anal retentive dumb ass.
