..so many people start adding an "H" after the "S" sound when followed by an "R"?

"Strong" has become "shtrong." "Street" is now "shtreet."

I hear it everywhere, from people in all socioeconomic strata. (Shtrata?) Rappers. GW Bush. Voiceover talent. Radio newscasters. Doesn't seem to be regional.

THIS WILL NOT STAND.

it came when announcers stated using "of a" and when the news people stated emphasizing the adjectives and prepositions and asking where are you at.

the car WAS struck and it caused a big of a mess. we don't know the car is at now.

I don't think our language evolves from news people...God, I hope not

language has always changed over time...I know linguists who crack up over how upset people get...people with different dialects moving all around and mixin' things up...add a hurried lifestyle and blammoh

too rushed to open wide and say the s's like midwesterners...starts sounding like an easterner

thanks...just realized I'm a shstreet person too

well you get the picture and I need cofffe so i'll sotp now

Just imagine what we will do with the Chinese language once it is mandatory in public schools.

[shudder] yikes

you be ignernt.

why for you saya lat, yadelose?

Let us not forget the improper use of the apostrophe and the way 'at' is used. Too many people place 'at' where it should not belong, such as the end of a sentence.

^ Yes indeed. That is the manner of crap up with which I shall not put.

Is that anything like ...pronouncing the "t" sound like the "c" sound? As in...

I gots good "credic"

or...

Me and my homies went to a "scrip" club last night

Everyone wants to sound like John Stewart.
