“Andrea, about your “that’s how it would have been said in Latin” double-down, do you also pronounce Julius Caesar as “Yoo-li-uss Kai-sar” (not to mention Chalupa as “Kalupa”)? A recent video has the editor in chief and every reporter interviewed there pronouncing it ProPUBlica, not ProPOOBlica. Another article said that while some do pronounce it ProPOOBlica, “most folks here in the newsroom pronounce it ProPUBlica.” Of course, it’s your right in the POOBlic discourse to pronounce the name of that POOBlication how you want, no matter how unlikely or uncommon, or anecdotal or antiquated the justification (and despite the fact there were short “u” vowel sounds in Latin as well as long) but I won’t be gaslit about this either.”
