Pronouncing “str” like “shtr” as in “shtrong” “shtrange”
This habit drives me crazy , but then so much incorrect use of the English language seems to be the norm these days. I don't quite know what the source is - maybe young English teachers themselves don't know right from wrong - but it infuriates me!! Folk say it doesn't matter if you understand what they mean , but this still shouldn't make it acceptable. GRRRRRRR!!!
