100% lock **** you I don't even really believe these pictures aren't photoshopped. i am one thousand percent sure i'd bet my life that it was (in the paralell universe or whatever) actually STEIN. i was an avid reader as a child and read these books plenty of times. i'm not sure if alternate reality or what is the cause of it, but i KNOW its stein. I am sure.
The Pronunciation Explanation doesn't even make sense, because I read the books to myself only, not aloud, simply in my head. I lived a sheltered childhood and never was exposed to television. I always pronounced it berenstein. (STEEN). If I had all those years read the word berenstain in my head, I would never pronounce and remember it as STEEN, it would be STAYN.
This has to be a sick joke. There's no way, absolutely no way, it was not stein.
1984 is coming true? We were always at war with eastasia?
Spooky, never trust anything but your own senses, people. My senses don't lie and my gut says something is way the **** off about this.
I bet the opposite way, I remember it specifically being -stain. I have books that say -stain, I have a picture of me as a child holding up a book spelled -stain, and I remember it being -stain.
The books say -stain so basically the only way this is real is if a parallel universe exists and somehow the books can changed from stain to stein which is pretty lol (I suppose it's not completely impossible, but the chances are so remote it's not worth bothering with)
Occam's says it's always been -stain, we all read these books as a child and it would be very easy to mistake it for -stein when that's a common end of a name. I'm sure if someone wrote their name as Harvey Weinstain for example most people would just gloss over it and see Weinstein because our brains are trained to do that.
