Common mistakes of pulitzer pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "pulitzer" as /ˈpʊlɪtsər/. The correct stress is on the first syllable /ˈpʊlɪtsər/. Tip: Remember to emphasize the "pul" when pronouncing it.
- Vowel confusion: Some might pronounce "pulitzer" with an unclear vowel sound, saying it as /pʌlɪtsər/. The correct pronunciation uses a short "u" sound as in /ˈpʊlɪtsər/. Tip: Practice saying "pull" to get the right vowel sound.
- Overemphasizing the "z": A common mistake is to pronounce the "z" too strongly, leading to "pulitzer" sounding like /ˈpʊlɪtsəz/. The correct pronunciation has a softer "z" sound, /ˈpʊlɪtsər/. Tip: Keep the "z" light and quick.
- Ignoring the "t": Some speakers might drop the "t" sound, pronouncing "pulitzer" as /ˈpʊlɪsər/. However, it's important to include the "t" sound, /ˈpʊlɪtsər/. Tip: Make sure to articulate the "t" clearly between the vowels.
