Hi guys.  Listen, not that this is what's keeping me from enlisting?, but I'd feel a lot better if you didn't pronounce it "shtrong".

Thanks.

I would like to write a memo to NBC4 meteorologist Bob Ryan.

It's "day", Bob, not "dee". So Wednesday is not Wednesdeeee, Thursday is not Thursdeeee, etc.

You've mentioned this before. :-) That's another one that's as old as the hills -- he wouldn't say "dee" if that syllable were emphasized, but take away the stress and the vowel gets reduced to almost nothing. Heh.

Yeah, I know...I guess that's an indication of how much it irritates me. It's become akin to nails on a chalkboard. :-)

It also irks me when people say "Warshington."
