Maybe it's only me, but I certainly have been noticing a new trend. I have noticed in the media, news and talk shows the mispronunciation of words containing "str".
There seems to be a trend to pronounce str as though it is spelled shtr. Example: We are shtruggling to clean up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Our own First Lady seems to do it a lot. I have also noticed it a lot on local news as well as national news.
Where did this come from? It drives me crazy everytime I hear it.
