How many r's are in strawberry?
There are three R's in the word 'strawberry', not two, which is where most people go wrong.

Spell it out letter by letter and it becomes clear:
S - T - R - A - W - B - E - R - R - Y
- S: no
- T: no
- R: yes (1)
- A: no
- W: no
- B: no
- E: no
- R: yes (2)
- R: yes (3)
- Y: no
Three R's total. The trick is that last double-R before the Y. People say the word fast, the ending blurs, and the brain logs one R where there are actually two sitting side by side.
