Records with words with the letter S are slurred

I know this must be here somewhere but there is a lot to go through so I am asking the question.
Why does a turntable slur words with a s? This does not do it with all my records but when it does it is very annoying

Seriously, there's a host of reasons why sibilants ("S" sounds) may be distorted during vinyl playback. Most systems suffer from more than one of them, so nobody can provide a single, easy answer. This distortion is usually called "sibilance". If you search for that you'll find a long list of threads discussing it.

Everyone else is just guessing. One or more of these guesses may be correct for your case, or not. As I previously posted and as these responses make clear, there are many possible causes. Which one(s) apply to your situation is unknown and unknowable without additional information.
