And, I thought it was spelled 'stein' instead of 'stain'.<br />I don't see why correct pronunciation is as big of a deal as it is; as long as others know what you're talking about, pronunciation shouldn't cause such hoopla. potAYto potAHto.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328179178647542138.post-12350636753242128152012-04-17T14:30:15.104-05:002012-04-17T14:30:15.104-05:00You guys are HILARIOUS.

The only reason some of you hilariouly think it is "stine" or "steen" is because, at a glance, you or your parents thought it looked like it was spelled "stein." (No one is used to seeing any name ending in "stain," but "stein" is an extremely common surname-ending, especially among Jewish or German lineage.) So you or your parents made a terrible guess or a "reading typo." This is the only reason for people's erroneous pronunciation. hahaha I am still laughing at this...hallwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832585789409922602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328179178647542138.post-2219687469853028922011-06-23T01:02:19.379-05:002011-06-23T01:02:19.379-05:00Definitely Berensteen.
