I remember it being berenstain pronounced, but I don't remember how it was spelled visually. I lean towards an e, but it was in cursive and this was
before I learned to write in cursive. I will not give a definitive on that one besides the fact my mom is insanely good in english and told me it was
pronounced berenstain, and that everyone was saying it wrong. It leads me more to believe it had an e in it than not, but that's not part of my for
sure memory.
I've asked the same questions and have been looking into it, but you must realize I am limited to what I surely remember. For instance Mandela died in
prison, BUT I never remember hearing who was in charge of South Africa at the time. I can't really do much with that one.
A poster asked me once:
"what do you think South Africans believe about Mandela specifically."
Something like that.
I wonder if it's a memory issue then surely South Africans would get it right.
I knew a South African.. An African American haha (white guy).. He was taught the same as me and never thought it was wrong that Mandela died in
prison. He lived in South Africa from 1986-1995 or so..
Very intelligent guy as were all of my friends. I feel like he would have corrected us, as my English friends corrected American history class about
the revolutionary war.
For all I know there is a "main timeline" that we alter from only to be sucked back in at a later time.
As I've said I have not yet come up with a way to prove or disprove. I havn't come up with an alternate theory that fits..
I'm stuck with "somethings up"
It would be highly unlikely that at my school in history all my teachers would say Mandela died in prison, when this was at the time the top school in
the state. It now appears to be ranked 4th.
These changes seem to occur when you're "not looking." That leads me to believe it's a memory fault. Problem with me believing that is I have seen
changes while looking.
I don't think it's clear time lines. I'm also not sure I believe it's a real effect. Part of me thinks it's psy ops. I especially think that when
Mirror mirror on the wall is STILL mirror mirror on the wall in at least Dutch and Portuguese.
Interview with A vampire bothers me a LOT because I had one of the top English teachers at the time. She was also a newspaper editor. There is no way
she mixed "a" and "the." That one too still says "a" in some other languages, but I'm not enough of a linguist to know if it's hard in that language
to say a instead of the. Or the instead of a.. I HAVE noticed movie titles changing based on differing concepts when going from English to another
language that has masculine and feminine and they have to change it a bit because the character is a girl, but the word is masculine.
anyway... I don't have the answers but this topic bugs the hell out of me.
I NEED to get to the bottom of it.
I have way more than a passing interest.
