I also first noticed this with Michelle Obama and even inquired as to whether she had a speech impediment. Now, everyone does it. It makes me cringe. Why are people..journalists, tv announcers, etc pronouncing it this way? It's extremely irritating.
Pronouncing “str” like “shtr” as in “shtrong” “shtrange”
