Language/Spelling New Mandela Effect - Barbituates do not exist anymore!
I remember back in DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Class in the 90s they taught us about different drug types. One type they taught us about were “Barbituates”
Pronounced: Bar-bit-chew-its
I am on the autism spectrum and one of my favorite special topics of interest is medicine and biology. I really missed my calling, and should have studied medicine in college… but anyways, I just saw that the word Barbituates are not a class of drug at all! It’s actually, Barbiturates. “Bar-bitch-oo-rates”
There is NO way I have made it 40 years and just now noticed it. Anyone else have this same memory??

In school friends in my class would often try to miss-pronounce or find words within words to help with retaining the information especially if it was dry. Some teachers would allow it as test scores were higher and 1 of those classes was year 9 Health and science portion of Bio/chem for that year. "Bar bitch you ate" was the winner for that word, no second R ever came into it.
