Well, in this dimensional universe the name of the actress is Sally Field, but it is commonly thought to be Fields by many.
And that's precisely the issue, isn't it?
Is it more likely that some people think her name is a barely different spelling, and have always thought so, such that when presented with the actual spelling they are greatly surprised...or is it more likely that there is a Sally Fields in an alternate universe, and there is an inter-dimensional rift that causes some people to have somehow seen a broadcast of "Entertainment Tonight", or whatever, that really came from the alternate dimensional universe?
What is of some interest is considering how these kind of memes spread. For instance, like the previous poster, I learned The Lord's Prayer as containing "trespass". If I was to teach it to someone, I would pass that on to them. And so on. I had
never seen the original.
People remember memories. When you think of a story you've told countless times of something that happened to you as a much younger you, you're not recounting your original memories of the event. You're now recounting your memories from those previous times you told the story, which were themselves memories. You're basically playing a game of Memory Telephone (or Memory Chinese Whispers) with yourself.
It's an interesting thing to realise, when you
think about it. Emphasis on
thinking about it.
