The changes evolving below can’t really be explained how they just happen to happen. The closest thing to an explanation I found is under the work of English professor Rupert Sheldrake who compares his grand explanation (Morphic Resonance) to Carl Jung’s “collective unconscious” … that’s a phrase you don’t often hear, even by accident unless you are shtriving to understand it.
Often (with the “t” pronounced) Question: does pronouncing the t in often soften your brain and make it whistle?
On accident (was “by accident”)
Injecting SH into words that previously never had that sound. E.g. “Damage from schtrong winds forced the shtreet to be closed. It was nearly deshtroyed and was part of a shtring of events leading to this weather-related schtrategy” Go figure?
