Contrary to the popular assertion by all the would-be character assassins clinging to this thread like barnacles, we all seem to be quite a grounded, intelligent, reasoning group of people. In other words, you're in good company.
I'm not sure if there has been a single language-related Mandela Effect yet that actually improved the spelling or pronunciation. It always seems to diminish it.

This stumbling over words thing could be correlative - I've always been highly articulate, quick to formulate responses to abstract questions, found it easy to talk about complex subjects & interpret them for non-specialists, etc. In the past year though, my quick thinking has dulled significantly - I stumble over words, forget words that I really should have a handle on, and end up responding to people in almost child-like sentences when I should be unfolding a carefully formulated conversation.
ok, thanks, good to know.... dang I hate hoaxes...

This was first reported in world news daily which is a faux news site. In other words it wasn't true.

I say 'could be', only because several people have also mentioned it in-thread. Personally, I have a neurological condition which causes a lot of pain, necessitating strong opiate & other types of medication. The doses I use are quite high, on a daily basis - so this whole speech impediment issue could be a natural thing due to prolonged use of the medications (ten years and counting). It would be interesting though, if it were actually a side effect of the 'hypnosis' / 'quantum break' which we are all experiencing. I suppose we'd have to poll every person who claimed a Mandela Effect experience, and also the non-experiencers, to see if they are/ aren't also experiencing cognitive difficulties...

Does anyone remember the candy bar Baby Ruth being called Babe Ruth, or is that just me?
Ever since I came across this Mandela thing I've been thinking about other possibilities so this could've just been my own creation but I'm pretty sure I remember it as Babe Ruth.

That makes no sense.
The Arctic was always talked about as disastrous for the planet, bound to cause severe global flooding if it should fully melt, even to the point of covering the entire map with water (except for some mountaintops.)
Oh, sorry. That makes no sense in this world.
