Language Barrier

I'll come back to that one day. Anyway, another common incorrect pronunciation I hear is SCR for words that begin with STR, like street. People like to say "screet". And so, here's my joke from like, a gazillion years ago:
What's the definition of "indiscreet"? It's where you stand when you want to be hit by a car!
