Likert pronunciation (Spoiler alert: LICK-ert)

This may be a bit ridiculous, but Likert Scales get used quite a lot in my reading and research.  Dan Newman stressed that Dr. Likert’s name is pronounced LICK-ert, but so many others use LIKE-ert.  In the interest of using a common language and honoring a person’s name, I want to offer some clarity to what’s correct.  It’s LICK-ert.

If Dan’s word isn’t enough, see here, here (scroll down), and wikipedia (here).
