If evidence shows I misremembered I willingly accept that
There probably won't be any evidence.
Just a memory you can't explain.
Weird huh?

I'm from the "Stein" universe, the OT (original timeline). I have 2 old 1st edition books from '68 where it's spelled "Berenstein Bears".
The "Stainer's" in this thread are either selling disinformation, as the "change" was anti-semetic; or more likely you need to go back to your own universe or timeline.
Stein 4 ever!
This rabbit hole is way deeper than you think. It has to do with person(s) not connected to the original works trying to get the name changed so they can collect money off book sales, and other royalties. LOL "Stain" *rolls eyes*
Also Mandela has been reported dead no less than 3 times.

The reason everyone remembers it wrong is because they recall something more logical - the more common suffix.

The most likely explanation is that those who remember it wrong mixed it in their brains with Albert Einstein.
Also in german it's "...EIN" in most cases

I dunno, I remember doing a project on it when I was a child, and spelling it wrong repeatedly. I still have a lot of my youngest schoolworks, maybe I could dig it up. Stein is always pronounced as in Einstein, but German Jews started pronouncing it "steen" to distinguish themselves. Stain would be what, Dutch maybe..?

Quite honestly I don't really understand it. I don't know the book either. Can someone explain please? I could investigate it, but why if this is an ongoing discussion about the subject where people can tell me more specific what the problem is. . . . .

I've been quizzing random people as much as I can. I just need to keep hearing people say what I expect to hear-the E spelling. I don't know why this is happening but it's so intriguing!!
Yesterday I called 2 libraries and asked (without loading) if they know about a kids book about bears. They both replied with the E pronunciation AND spelling. Yes, lol...I asked them to spell it.
Where do we go from here? What else can we do? I'm not satisfied, not sure I'll ever be.
