If it started happening with things that matters, maybe I would pay attention but I have a feeling that the spelling of a name of a child's book author is not something that is going to change world history. None of the other "ME" clues is worth a penny either. Wake me up when I make more money than I used to.

I'm not here to say it's real or not.
But, dude.
Do you see the name of the effect?
Mandela
Ring a bell?
Do you know why they call it the Mandela Effect?

It's about a guy that died in prison right?

Nah, it's just a quote from a movie that got corrupted as people used
It (and probably to help "identify" it in the pre-net age)
Examples-
Frankly "Scarlett" I don't give a damn
"Play it again Sam"
Beam me up Scotty

There's a large group of people around the world who all have the same memory of Mandela's assassination -- which didn't happen in this reality.

When you're a child and you're learning spelling, and stuff.
Read this.
Now give that to someone who is reading Berenstain Bears. See any problems? They are at an age where they are still "sounding out" words to a large degree and phonetically speaking, this is the only grouping of the letters "STAIN" that sounds like "steen" or "stein".
The English language has many minor rules and exceptions, and unless our brain has those reinforced, it's not going to waste any time and energy saving that useless bit of information. Past the age of 6 or 7, you never looked at the cover of a Berenstain Bears book every again, but you've seen a lot of "steins" or "steens" haven't you? You've had a lot of people tell you there name with some like "Rothstein" or "Goldsteen", but never with "stain" on the end of it.
I bet if you did a polling of people unaware of the Berenstain Bears, a lot of people would guess:
Berenstein
Berensteen

It's all just BS and people convincing themselves of something that they don't remember correctly.

This. My mom got my old books out over Thanksgiving. Printed right there on the books (they were new to me in the mid 80's) was "Berenstain"

Not defending the 'effect'.
But that's the whole point of their position -- that things are different than they remember. So your books saying Barenstain is irrelevant to the point you're making.

Me.
But I've always been pretty anal about spelling.

It was Berenstein. The Matrix is real.

THIS is exactly why I remember it as stein. I know that this video plus several others exists somewhere in my parents' attic. I didn't have many books, but I did have several of these videos.

The chik-fil-a thing is really weirding me out. I distintly remember it being spelled that way and remember thinking that they chose a strange way to spell it.
