That's universe "e" stuff? What happened to Jacy that grew up in universe "a"?
I would assume she is in universe "e" typing on a thread on ETS about why the heck it's spelled BerenstEin, lol...
Oh, and you're over there assuring her it always has been.
Go ahead and make jokes but my post there was actually a serious question about how this switcheroo stuff could work.
ETA: Very few posts have actually been about that aspect of the thread. People are still trying to justify claims that books in this universe "a" actually had stein printed on them.
Sorry, DenyO. Erase the laughy face, and really there's your answer still. Universe 'e' Jacy is here, so universe 'a' Jacy is undoubtedly in over in universe 'e' suffering confusion. (Unless she is in universe 'o' or 'u'

Yeah this one is more easily explained. Oftentimes there are different cuts and edits of films floating around. A movie might have very slight and barely noticeable changes from the theater to countless home video versions to TV airings etc. It's the same with television programs that usually get altered in some way for syndication rebroadcasts and whatnot. Unlike a book's preface, most films and TV programs don't detail what changes were specifically made to the particular edit you're watching (probably because most people don't even notice.) It's frustrating!
These edits and cuts to films and television used to play havoc with my sense of reality before I realized what a common practice it was. So many times I swore I remembered a line, or a scene that had been cut; or sometimes I'd be introduced to a line or a scene I've never seen before in previous viewings. It's all just part of the magic of film though.
A good example of this is when a movie trailer contains scenes not found in the theatrical version of the movie.

Again, how do you explain people who've never seen the book and say Berenstein when they are looking at the book? Or pronounce it wrong with the book in front of them?
a reply to: BerenstEiner
People that never seen the book have no say in this debate.
Did you read his post? People that misspell or mispronounce it when they are looking at the book. That says a lot about this debate.
Hmm... point taken (even tho you weren't talking to me.) But your post made this idea pop into my head: Subliminal advertising. Well, not 'advertising' but something subliminal. Something that makes you think one spelling, until you really, REALLY focus on it.
But that only leads to the obvious question... Why? What would be the point.
Hmmm, you don't work for A & E do you? That's a joke BTW. Checked my sig lately?

Except after c. I think it still applies in this universe.
Have to admit though, i before e except after c is a weird rule.
...I know, right? And then there's even another tricky part. Here's the whole rhyme I learned in elementary school:
I before E
except after C
or when sounding like A
as in "neighbor" and "weigh"
Geez, there's that "a" cropping up again complicating the balance of the universe!
Sweet. But how does that explain "weird". That's why I called it "weird". Get it? I'm having some of that daja vu here.
Anyway, I gotta go cuz Stan and Kyle are here and on Friday night we always go harsh Randy Marsh's mellow. You won't get that I guess unless you watched South Perk.

Why would only some switch like that? How would some switch like that?
upon googling 'Andrew Zimmerman' and 'Andrew Zimmern', the same guy shows up. I assumed, that because I also remember it being zimmerman, that he changed his name between when I last heard of him and now,
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern is a travel and cuisine television show hosted by Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel. The first season debuted on Monday, February 26, 2007 at 9pm ET/PT. Wikipedia
George Michael Zimmerman (born October 5, 1983) is an American known for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012,

I know you aren't talking to me, but I will volunteer up some of my reality for you.
Berenstein Bears
Jim Nabors died of AIDS.
Larry Hagman died twice now.
The sun used to be more yellow, now it's whiter and hotter.
Andrew Zimmern was once Andrew Zimmerman.
Okay everybody...ready...set...ATTACK!! .
jacy
Not sure. Some sort of electrical storm effecting the quantum entanglement of neural signals specific to this particular memory in the two Jacy's brains. (Ok, I just made that up, but I kinda like it.)
Affect
In order to understand the correct situation in which to use the word affect or effect, the first thing one must do is have a clear understanding of what each word means. The word affect means to produce a change in something.
Effect
The word effect has a different meaning. Effect is defined as a result of something or the ability to bring about a result.
Grammar Rules for Affect and Effect
Now that we have the two definitions, how do we know which word to use? Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind:
1. If you are talking about a result, then use the word "effect."
Example: What effect did the loss have on the team?
2. It is appropriate to use the word "effect" if one of these words is used immediately before the word: into, on, take, the, any, an, or and.
Example: The prescribed medication had an effect on the patient's symptoms.
Example: In analyzing a situation, it is important to take the concepts of cause and effect into consideration.
3. If you want to describe something that was caused or brought about, the right word to use is effect.
Example: The new manager effected some positive changes in the office. (This means that the new manager caused some positive changes to take place in the office.)
4. Affect can be used as a noun to describe facial expression.
Example: The young man with schizophrenia had a flat affect.
Example: The woman took the news of her husband's sudden death with little affect.
5. Affect can also be used as a verb. Use it when trying to describe influencing someone or something rather than causing it.
Example: How does the crime rate affect hiring levels by local police forces?
Example: The weather conditions will affect the number of people who come to the county fair this year.

THE IRONY!!!
That reminds me of something I thought about earlier. Those that push the implanted false memory angle (as if that would validate the claims that it really was spelled stein) cast reasonable doubt on all... UFO sightings for example.
I guess I need to add that to the was it real or was it a dream possibilities for what I saw.

The third link has pictures of the books, but I cannot zoom in closely enough to read the titles.
The last link has a synopsis of "The Bears Vacation" by "Jan and Stan Berenstein"
Did you read the old sourcing documents posted?
There are like 6 of them posted towards the bottom of page 1, old newspapers, and they refer to the books as Berenstein.
Do any show the actual books clearly or just misspellings from idiot ad writers?
Google Berenstein Bears
Sorry but I can't resist.
