There's a closet door at work boldly labeled STRAGE. I like to shake my fist and holler STRAGE! as I walk past it.
At first I thought it a strange error, but now it makes sense to me. The author must have been aware of the bizarre practice in English of leaving out the vowels that always appear between consonants in Japanese. He just got a bit carried away with his application of this English practice. He may even have been aware that STR is a common consonant combo.
