Never heard of this show am I qualified human?
[QUOTE=haloguy234;50383671]I just thought of something. What if it's a worldwide region thing? For some reason Europeans like to be wrong and they spell cesium as caesium, and aluminum as aluminium. So maybe this is one of those things? Maybe we were all for some reason getting books from European outlets vs American ones? Perhaps all the books we read were all just misprints and by the time it was caught too many of them were in circulation?[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it was called Berenstain world wide. I honestly don't want to sound like a dick but if you honestly believe that there is a Parallel world because of our Brain screwing up with memories, then you really need to go back to School. I learnt this stuff years ago. [editline]24th May 2016[/editline] By learning, I mean how we tend to think some words sounds like others. Tomato for example, you can pronounce Tomato two ways. TOmato, toMAHto. Then you gotta look at Accents. I have heard Australians say Day different. Dey for example. My dad says Sundey, Tuesdey, Mondey, and so on. [editline]24th May 2016[/editline] Heck, I used to think the word "Therefore" was spelled "Therefor"
[QUOTE=The bird Man;50383695]Never heard of this show am I qualified human?[/QUOTE] It started in the late 90s and ended in the early 2000s so depending on your age, it might not be a surprise. I've never watched it, but heard of it here and there growing up.

The other thing is why does it affect so many people about almost the same things? If it just was the mandala guy or the Berenstein Bears then okay, but Looney Toons, the Darth Vader one, Sex in the city, and the list goes even further..
Also I used to think Ocarina of Time was released in 1999, but I found out I was wrong, then I assumed Majora's Mask was released in 1999, but then I found out i was wrong. I was even sure as day that it was, but it wasn't.

There is evidence that our brain fucks up and mis-remember things. It's really common, like really common. Memories that you have of an event may not even be an actual Memory but a dream you had, I've had that multiple times.

Mispronunciation is one thing, accents are another. Even with mispronunciation, as long as you aren't an idiot you can figure out what the speaker is trying to say. Same thing with accents. This is unrelated to the two. It's a fundamental breakdown of things that people remember vs what they are told. Linguistics have nothing to do with it. I understand that memory is very malleable and largely unreliable and the brain makes a habit of trashing things it thinks it doesn't need, but this is oddly specific. Incorrectly reciting a phrase or saying is normal. Incorrectly pronouncing a word is normal. Someone incorrectly hearing you because of a thick accent is normal. Mass confusion caused by two specific letters in a well known book series title is not. I don't think there is a parallel universe, I'm not an idiot. But there is a reason for this and it goes beyond normal habits of the brain. It's too specific to be a generalization that our brains would make. Many of us have specific memories of both spellings. To me the only logical explanation is berenstein was a misprint. That would explain why years later when they have been reprinted the correct spelling appears on them now.

And in fact I used to think Febreze was spelled Febreeze, it's one of the examples used in the video I posted, I didn't realize that I remembered it wrong. Heck, in that same part, he explains why people remember it Febreeze. It's easier for the brain, Freeze is spelled with to Es, Febreze looks a bit like Freeze. And so to lessen the stress of the brain remembering it, it remembers the easiest spelling, which was Febreeze. It's the same case as Berenstain. It's easier and nicer to remember it with 3 Es rather than 2. Less stress on the brain, less stress when writing it. I used to use multiple letters because it looked better, felt better, and was how I remembered it. But they all turned out to be incorrect. And here is the thing, a lot of it involved the letter E. [editline]24th May 2016[/editline] The only Logical Explanation is the Scientific Explanation, which is that our Brain is a piece of Meat, which isn't the best type of format to be saving millions of Information we encounter in our Day to day lives. I have spelled Severe wrong so many times due to this. Sever, Server, Severe, they are three different words, with 3 different meanings, but involve the same letters. I highly doubt my brain is going to remember all three of them for the rest of my life, unless I ram it down into my Brain, and even then in a couple weeks I will probably end up spelling it incorrectly. [editline]24th May 2016[/editline] It's called a False Memory. [url]http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-24286258[/url] [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory[/url] Our Brain believes something that is incorrect, and when another person also believes the memory to be true, that Memory is melted into the Brain as true. Which is what has happened with Berenstain. Teachers, parents, other kids, TV, and so on, all had it as Berenstein, why? Because one person thought it was Berenstein, and the other person who thought it was Berenstein was then convinced it was spelled Berenstein.

But why would there be any reason for even TV guides to misspell it? And continously? No. Also, I would take the mandela effect with a grain of salt, considering it is a theory proposed by a paranormal consultant. Meaning they have the same credibility as Gary Spivey or the Long Island Medium. Thinking Nelson Mandela died in prison is just being a retard.

I am sure there are more TV Guides that Spelled it correctly than that spelled it wrong. TV Guides aren't done by one person for the entire English Speaking World.
[QUOTE=Higurashi;50382764]Found something interesting but without the actual cover [IMG]http://s33.postimg.org/pan42aegv/Untitled.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Yeah you'll get strange results when you spell something blatantly wrong ;)
[QUOTE=Xonax;50383565]Another one is Sex and The City. Most people think it's Sex in the City, but it's Sex and the City.[/QUOTE] WHAT
While I've known about this nonsense for a while it does remind me of that one time I was watching a game and got a false memory. Clear as day remember being in a plane crash, like the Bioshock intro. It was vivid like a dream but I was wide awake. Human memory is broken as fuck

It's not the actual website, they link to the official website which is BerenstAin bears. Emphasis on the A. [editline]24th May 2016[/editline] Maybe you are thinking of Tiny Toons, which is by the same people. They stick their bodies out of the big round O, not the Os in Toons tho. Maybe your brain melted them together? I've had it like that before.
[QUOTE=Xonax;50383565]Another one is Sex and The City. Most people think it's Sex in the City, but it's Sex and the City.[/QUOTE] hold on, why then official russian translated version of the title is Sex IN the City cyka blyad :wow:

I always thought it was bearenstein bears :v:

Another little thing nobody remembers is Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson". Psmith says that.
It was always Berenstain Bears to me. Not going to say I'm right in my memory, but the fact that this thread has mentioned some sort of parallel universe theory and forums dedicated to whether or not a book title was fucked up over the years has me laughing to no end :v:

Misremembering it is one thing. But I, like cr1tikal, have memories of spelling it "stain" and being corrected by my parents, peers, and teachers. Specifically them showing me the cover of the book to see how it's "correctly" spelled.
There's been a lot of study done how surprising easy it is to get people to completely fabricate memories. That, combined with how your brain tends to take shortcuts when reading, and it's pretty easy to see where this comes from. [editline]25th May 2016[/editline] Basically, your brain is lazy, lying bastard.
I just went to look at my old collection of Berenstain Bears and all I found in their place were blank books covered with dust.

i thought it was pronounced beren-stine because if stein is pronounced stine, then why shouldn't berenstein be pronounced berenstine?

They're named after the creators and the creators are named Berenstain. Can't get more obvious that it's just a widespread false memory.
