Because in the medical world, its known as “strep throat ”. Not “strept throat”. Google strept throat. Its not simply an abbreviation, its a common name for an illness. Strept is literally incorrect. Strep is actually official.

I googled strept and I got results that say strep or strept is short for streptococcus.

It only became official because someone decided. Like someone else decided that "IMA" is the official shortened version of Imamother, but if I want I can call it IMAM... Wink

Once you're not using the proper name, we all get to decide on abbreviations we prefer.

It's like arguing how to pronounce ASAP (aysap, or as-sap). It's just not a word, so you can choose however you like.
