One of the greatest men...😩

He really was. What do you remember? Him dying in prison or in 2013?

He was released in early 90s. Remember the other anti-aparthied stuff that was going on at the time? The sporting sanctions, trade sanctions and all. I do. I remember the period well. You are a little young to have any valid memory of the period, so what you know is what you have heard. No, we did not think he died in prison at the time. There was a song, Free Nelson Mandela, that was very popular in 1984.

The Mandela effect is an excuse for bad education and poor memory, nothing more.

Mandela Effect is just the most de-bunkable conspiracy theory that ever existed. I know. Look at the "effect" that has suddenly made Canberra the capital of Australia! Or introduced those weird flying fox fruit bats to the world! Except - I live in Canberra and we see flying foxes a lot. So, debunk 1 popular myth. I could keep going on the geological changes that have supposedly occurred, but let's move on.

Looney TUNES - Tunes is only pronounced Toons in the US. In English speaking countries it is pronounced TYUNES. I was definitely Looney Tyunes. Toon Town came out of Roger Rabbit in the mid 80s.

Find physical evidence of the spelling changes, should not be a problem. Most are US products and do not affect the rest of the world, so a US thing? Or just bad education?

And as for the namesake, why if Mandela died in 1983 was a song released in 1984, that charted all over the world "Free, Neldon Mandela"?
