I can see the attraction to wanting to be special. That the world has changed and your memories are infallible.
Now you can't even remember that it is "Berenstain/stein" and not "Berenstainer/steiner."

I AM special. We are all special, unique in all the world.
I don't know what the explanation to all this weirdness is, only that it is weird. I have made many mistakes in life. I have had made spelling errors. But...it was Steiner. Why didn't kids make fun of the 'stainer' part? Why do so many of us insist on what we remember, even when it makes us look crazy? Do you think we enjoy this? Looking at stainer is like looking at share bears instead of care bears, or Charlie Crown instead of Charlie Brown. Strange!
And no memory errors.

The only thing that makes you look crazy is blaming it on a "shift."

Yes, somewhat.
Do you think we enjoy this?

Should we all make reservations at the nearest mental health facility? Nah.
Here is the problem...as a kid, who was just learning how to spell efficiently, I probably didn't give the title two looks. However it's what I heard...What I heard was Berenstein. Does not mean that this was the correct spelling. No one is going to take the time to over enunciate the "STAIN" . Thus this is where we are all at now. If you say The Berenstain Bears with normal flow me as a child would not be able to tell the difference.
