This was my first ME, seeing them spelling this Berenstain. These books were my favorite when I learned to read, I am very focused on getting my spelling accurate and have a photographic memory. It was always Berenstein, and that is before I even knew "stein" is usually a jewish name. Which got me thinking...

Maybe there is some sort of intelligence behind these changes trying to tell us something - that the "steins" are "stains" - jews are stains on humanity, specifically White people since they often pass for Whites. Think about stains on white clothes.

I specifically remember stein over stain because it introduction me to the existential confusion between words that have EI in them and which order they go, EI or IE

'stein not 'stain. As kids we would have made kid jokes about poo stains on the bears and such, but this was not the case because 'stein.

This come a lot so I figured I'd ask because nobody knows which is right and they are just used interchangeably.

It's spelled both ways in the pic?

Berenstein is claimed to be a misprint - however this is how I remember the name spelled on all the books and the cartoon.

Berenstain is the "current" spelling.

Yeah, when the whole ME thing started, I remembered it being "stein" too, and I had the books as a kid.

are there such a thing as typos? or how about Chinese knock-offs? or spelled wrong to avoid copyright infringement?

This particular residue is claimed to be a misprint.

When I was a child in the '70s, a friend had a full collection of Berenstain Bears books.

Forty years later I worked for a time at a library, and I returned Berenstain Bears books to the kiddie lit shelf.

It was Berenstain many years ago. It is still Berenstain today.

You may have existed in the same universe the whole time. But some of us existed in a different universe before.
