I’m slightly upset at the pedantry of quoting the thing correctly and, as a result, losing all context and having the conversation seem nonsensical.
Alright, pet peeve? This is not the Mandela effect. “Luke, I am your father” is paraphrasing for clarity. I’m fine wih the Mandela effect neologism for instances where people genuinely misremember something en masse. Misquoting something because it’s more representative out of context (“Beam me up, Scotty”/“Elementary, my dear Watson”) is not the same thing at all, though.
