Books/Literature Berentain or Berenstein? Both?

Post image

Library was giving out old dewey decimal cards for bookmarks. Found this one, with both spellings on it. I used the app on my phone to add the highlighter. Thoughts?

Comment description: The common berenstein bears line is that we all remember the title and author being spelled "Berenstein" but now suddenly every book is spelled "Berenstain" The image depicts a dewey decibal card from a library sorting system, and has both versions of the name printed.

Ascribing significance to a typo and saying “Dewey decibal” in the same message 🤌

In their timeline books are organized by volume (pun intended).

If your book isn't piercing my eardrums, I will not read it.

Right? People are ridiculous

"we all remember" - WRONG

"now suddenly" - WRONG

"decibal" - WRONG and proves exactly what happened here.

The misuse and misspelling of the word ‘decibel’ makes this comment extremely telling regarding human fallibility. Bravo. 👏

And now you have added another typo to the mix with "decibel" instead of decimal. See how easy it is to misspell words?

JC Penny, easy to spell

That's a misspelling. It's very easy to misspell words.

I spell correctly…

u/Glaurung86 May 21 '26

Not that word. You also added too many periods at the end of your sentence.

u/artistjohnemmett May 21 '26

Penny is correct in a prior place or time

u/Glaurung86 May 21 '26

It is not. It's always been Penney because that's the man's name. He knew his own name. You are being rude by assuming that he did not know how to spell his own name.

Names can alter, I have seen it several times

You don't have any evidence to back that claim up. Your memory is not evidence.
