I found this site after wondering if Google would understand what I was looking for. Like another commenter, I started hearing this on a local station's top-of-the-hour news. I had to keep listening, just so I could find out what company and which reporter it was. Sure enough - it was Brian Clark. It's not just annoying. I'm incredulous that he's not been pulled off the air to get his speech impediment corrected. I wish I'd thought to write down what words it was that he mangled, but I think it was a 'demonshtrashun' or maybe 'inshtructions' - hell, it would be every word with an 'st' in it. PLEASE make it stop! Thank you, John C.
Pronouncing “str” like “shtr” as in “shtrong” “shtrange”
