Pronouncing “str” like “shtr” as in “shtrong” “shtrange”
I have noticed this phenomenon in Americans under 40 mostly actors . I have not noticed a solely African-American input except for when it is an African-American actor speaking the SHTR sound is much more distinguishable. Case in point , the lead actress in the new CBS Star Trek episode one is almost unwatchable . She even takes it beyond one word such as "this traitor" becomes "thish traitor."
