Yesterday, during the early morning program on my local CBS TV station, the Meteorologist stated,
"It's going to be a beautiful day. Go out and take a shtroll!"
Why do so many people feel the need to insert that "sh" sound into words where it is not appropriate?
I have only heard that from people who had a bit to much to drink.
Where do you hang out?
Regarding the "sh" added to "s" words- TYRA BANKS is the queen of that nonshensh. She says, "You have shrength. You're shtrong." I hate that Top Model show, but one of my friends used to watch it. I'd hear it when I was at her house (housh?) and think, "Why does Tyra Banksh do that sho much?" Shoundsh like a crazy pershon.
Here's another one. My sister emailed me today when she found this in a customer review of a dress at J C Penney online: "I perches this dress . . .."
Egad.
