Or am I just a victim of the Mandela affect?

Not really an AIBU (or it could be, depends how passionately you think I’m wrong)

But am I alone in thinking the word Rhythm used to be spelt ‘Rhythmn’??

I could honestly swear up was down that it used to have the n on the end

Ah bugger! I can’t believe I’m alone in this 😂

Perhaps @Thatswhyimacat is right, I was just channeling Janet Jackson

"The Mandela Effect" 🙄

Back in the olden days, we used to say "I made a mistake".

That’s not what the Mandela Effect is.

I don’t believe in the Mandela effect.

but until I read your post and checked I would have sworn it was rhythmn

Featuredcreature · 11/08/2022 18:02

There's no point asking about anything unusual on here, minds are so narrow they are measured in nm. Fwiw I don't have a strong memory of it being rhythmn. But I do have other Mandela effects I have strong feelings about Grin

You are not the only one confused over the spelling OP. Looks like someone else asked the same question back in 2011 on this site.

There’s always one that just wants to be unkind and/or condescending 🙄

Mandela effect and mistake are actually two different things

The mnemonic is Rhythm helps your two hips move ( no n!)

sunsetsandsandybeaches · 11/08/2022 17:59

Are you sure you're not thinking of hymn?

I always think deceit should have a p in it (please Bob) like receipt

DanielRicciardosSmile · 11/08/2022 17:54

No, sorry.

I mean, you might have spelt it with an "n" on the end, but you weren't correct.

PineForestsAndSunshine · 11/08/2022 17:53

Sorry, no!

Lots of words do end 'mn' which might explain the confusion?

Thatswhyimacat · 11/08/2022 17:52

Rhythmn...ation?

DwightShrutesYFronts · 11/08/2022 17:51

Nope. Just you.

Fairislefandango · 11/08/2022 17:50

Nope. It was never ever 'rhythmn'. It's not a case of people just thinking you're wrong. You are wrong. Sorry Grin. If you were right, I expect that somewhere in the vastness of the internet you would be able to find some proof...

RiderOfTheBlue · 11/08/2022 17:47

Are you getting it confused with "hymn"?

RedWingBoots · 11/08/2022 17:47

nope.
