Can you say Pulitzer?
The Pulitzer Prizes were awarded last week to a deserving bunch of talented people. And the least we can do in honoring them, by golly, is pronounce the name of their award correctly. Most reporters and editors call it the “pew-lit-sir.” But the awards were begun by Joseph Pulitzer, not Pepe Le Pew. It is pronounced “PULL-it-sir”. Really. Check out the Pulitzer Prize website.

Terri Evans says: Yes, I can. I have long known to pull, not pew. No pew at the dew.

I think we should have a Dew-litzer Prize. Of course, we could have a Dull-itzer prize for the snooziest story on the dew. The only people that really need to pronounce it are them that win it, so I guess I’ll just keep pronouncing it the other way.
