Suggested correction: Some people wear different sizes depending on the type of shoe. Not necessarily a mistake.

I never heard of going up or down 2 full sizes. I would say it's a mistake.

I agree that it's a mistake. Unlike clothing, shoe sizes are pretty consistent among different U.S. brands.

Show generally

Question: In the episode where Jackie goes to Roseanne's house and complains that she is overdue, she says something along the lines of she will be 80 years old with a 35 year old kid inside her. Well she lifts up her shirt and that pregnant belly looks real. Here's the question, was Jackie pregnant in real life?

Answer: Yes she was. When Laurie Metcalf, who played Jackie, became pregnant during the series, her pregnancy was written into the storyline; her pregnant belly is real. At the end of the episode where Jackie gives birth, there is a photo of Laurie Metcalf in the hospital just after she had her baby.
