Also, you will more than likely share some of the same physical symptoms - that those that see the changes do - insomnia, sick stomach, dizzy, headaches/migraines, ear ringing, jaw pain, shoulder pain, trouble finding words - i.e. the room with the car in it. Sometimes we are forgetful also.
I've had all these symptoms for a year or more now. I've always had reoccurring ear ringing, and insomnia was a serious problem of mine in the past, less so lately. The most noticeable thing with me lately is how I stumble through my words at random lately, for no reason than I can determine. I never had this problem before.
JMO, but I think this absolutely hits the nail on the head. For a quick example, my mother says chester drawers which is actually incorrect. The proper wording is a chest of drawers . Google however will do the same exact thing as op states if I type either in. Some people will see a spook behind every bush.

None of this is proof, whatsoever, of anything but people making mistakes. MANY people make the same grammar mistakes ("for all intensive purposes", "perrogative" instead of prerogative and so on...)
Why don't people explain these massive misunderstandings and mistakes as the "Mandela effect"?
The Mandela Effect can be denied. It's simply some percentage of people making the same, common, mistake.

That's a fair point and I respect it. I disagree, but I respect it
I mentioned in another thread ( of which I won't mention the fictional character's name as it apparently causes trauma to multiple people on here...) about a recollection I had of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi where, near the end when the Rebels attack the death star, I am 100% sure a bunch of their ships collided with the shield and exploded before others pulled up in safety.
Now, I have tried to find any reference of this but no luck. Now, both my brother and I remember this. BUT... i highly suspect I inadvertently convinced him he saw that happen as well. None of my friends, also Star Wars lunatics, do not recall this memory. No one I have spoken to remembers this either.
So.. based on that - to me, logically, it's me who is at fault. Even though I can almost visually play back that scene in my mind's eye, it didn't happen. It was me who got it wrong.
(please don't say you recall that memory or you WILL blow my mind! )

You did mock him, and in comparison to that, my insults are nothing but the truth. I try not to insult people generally, but you really did go for him, without even a hint of a concession for the fact that he was making the point that the name Luke was the name of his abuser. You knew he didn't mean Darth Vader, so yes, you mocked him instead of kindly refraining from further mockery.
Actually I didn't. To be honest I couldn't care less and I should not have to avoid saying the name of a person because he has issue with it in his past.

Ah, but you said you weren't being mean. If you don't believe in something then you feel this gives you the right to be rude, because it isn't rude if you don't believe what they are saying. Also, your own past does not excuse your behaviour with others. You can strongly disagree with someone without being hurtful.

I'm wrong all the time and human memory is very unreliable. But if it was STAIN instead of STEIN then why did my parents, teachers, friends, my brother and myself pronounce it "Bear-en-Steen"?
