Sometimes, things we take for granted are actually not the way we perceive them to be. Welcome to the Mandela Effect. The brainchild of Fiona Broome, it pulls its name from when a large group of people all had vivid memories of Nelson Mandela dying in prison. A thing that in this timeline, as they say, never happened. The theory reasons that if there is a large population of people who all share a similar false memory then the phenomenon is "related to alternate history and parallel realities."
People all over the world seem to remember when they were younger and read the beloved children's books by Jan and Stan that it was spelled BerenstEIN Bears, only to have their minds blown later in life to discover that's not how it's ever been spelled.

Or how about all of the people who have been spelling and even pronouncing dilemma with an "n" instead of double "mm"? http://dilemna.info/
What else is there? Any theories? What do you not know that you don't know?

Are you one of the possibly millions* of people worldwide that were taught to spell Dilemna with an 'N' and have been shocked to discover that you are absolutely 'wrong' because the word has apparently always been spelled with a double 'MM' as 'Dilemma'....?
