RE: I've started to have "The Talk" with my wife

That's how's it's always been for you? That's incredibly rare. Only 1 in 10 remember magic mirror on the wall instead of mirror mirror on the wall. Wolf is just as bad.

See if I can catch you in this one. It's a big one!

my score was 20042. (Is that 20 right, 4 wrong?)

Here's what I wrote about the quiz:

I could name plenty of King James Version Bible "fill in the blank" quizzes in which a large portion of people will get the word wrong. As much as this beloved book is used and known and sold in the US, it is still largely enigmatic when it comes to specific wordings. It's full of surprises, not because it's been altered by the timeline, but simply because it is susceptible to corruption, willful or otherwise. Most preachers read from it but eschew verbatim compliance with it for its second-person pronouns, its quaint word use, and its unfamiliar vocabulary. The bulk of ME problems stem from a leniency of verbatim compliance and using different spellings or wordings. The Telephone Game is a prime example in which verbatim compliance is mandatory and still can't be maintained.

When you can successfully perform the Telephone Game in a large group of people, come back to the Mandela Effect studies.

It boils down to attention to detail when the details aren't pertinent to a person's life, liberty, or property. If you were going to lose a finger for every misquote of Star Wars or Cinderella, you might pay more attention before you said "Luke I'm your father" or "Mirror, mirror."

But we just sit through these things as observers and enjoy them.

I have said the same thing about Nelson Mandela. If he was your best friend, you'd know when he died or whether he died. But he's not.
