I don't speak Italian, but I am fluent in Spanish and I can assure you that the letter 'a' is pronounced more than one way, just as it is in English...but rarely is it ever pronounced like the 'a' in "apple". The most common way is how it sounds when you recite the alphabet en Español: "Ah".
It's my second mother tongue and I can assure you 'A' always sound like 'A' it doesn't change.
The vowels in Spanish don't change sound, they sound the same all the time.
Perhaps it sounds like Apple for British, as Americans do have different pronunciation.
Yes, well it's my first language. The 'a' in apple sounds like the same letter in "hat" in America. That sound is not commonly used in Spanish. It is an "ah" sound. Like "hot". Exactly as it's pronounced when reciting the Spanish alphabet. Where in the world is the Spanish 'a' spoken differently? Not Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba or America. That's very interesting.
Eta: Sorry, but vowel sounds do change...I'm changing them right now with each word. In every language they change. In Spanish, for example, the word "Abuela"...both A's are pronounced "ah". But in a word like "guay", the vowel sound changes to a "long 'A'". Exactly like the A is pronounced when reciting the alphabet in English. It is an alternate vowel sound.
The fact that so many want to go to the extreme of saying ME'ers are claiming a perfect memory, without acknowledging the obvious fact that there are different types and levels of "memories" really weakens any case they are trying to make.
I know what the premise is, and know it's false. I can give a reasonably accurate paraphrase of what you and others have been interrogating ME'ers with:
"Why are you so high and mighty with your Godlike infallible memory that is 100% perfect and can never ever be wrong about even one little thing?"
False premise.

I have read everything regarding that coasterbuzz thing. I've yet to see evidence. Im sorry I am not saying this to be difficult or to be a naysayer. Actually, the contrary.
Im more like Fox and "I Want To Believe".
Thats me. But I need some substance to believe.
And Ive yet to see any kind of substance here. Everything can be explained by the way our memory works.
Everything..
So with the "memory" issue eliminated, what you are left with is to ask yourself this: What are the chances that every person (eleven different people, if I am counting it right) "misspelled the name" the same way without anyone realizing it or using the correct name, or correcting anyone. Even Ockham would have to pause for a moment to consider a scenario as unlikely as a congregation of that size made up of unrelated people all misspelling the same word in the exact same way. (There is also a very similar discussion on Facebook from years ago that I had come across last year, and may try to tra Eleven people out of ck down again.)

I don't believe any ME'er is saying faulty memory is an absolute impossibility in these circumstances
Then you haven't been following this as closely as you claim to...

False premise.
That is not the premise, it is the conclusion. You have yet to explain why you refuse to accept that faulty memory is infinitely more probable than some sort of paranormal or paraphysical phenomenon.

The "memory" issue has not been eliminated, you just ignore it. Eleven people out of 200+ million is insignificant. Let me be blunt: are you trolling?

Isn't it plausible that your old memory could have merged the stone cottage she built for her parents with her name? Thereby, in your memory becoming Rose Wilder Lane in a Stone cottage. Over time, the fading of other memories around the books and story blend together again and it becomes Rose Wilder Stone. You remember her name Rose Wilder, you envision the stone cottage, and it finally results in the false combined memory of Rose Wilder Stone as her name.
This is how memory works...especially as time passes. Memory is fluid, it does that, this has been proven scientifically in studies over and over again. What hasn't been proven even once it the creation of a localized warping of the space-time continuum where someone is transported between parallel universes.

No, the original berenstain thread had people claiming 100% their memory was right because they were a teachers assistant among other things. True story bro.
