you're like stars
which way do you spell it?

I always thought pyjama was a typo-- but apparently people actually use this version :D (is it even said the same ? LMAO I see pyjama and think PIE :D )
 
Haha, the dictionary that I looked at said that the PYJAMAS is the British variation of PAJAMAS. The only place I have seen the PY version is in the Victoria's Secret catalogs...
 
hhahaha I have never ever seen it written pajamas. That looks so wrong to me :) and I read it weird too.... Definitely pyjamas in this corner of the world!
Although i pronounce it as PJs.. dont think ive ever audibly said the word pyjamas....

LMAO! Yup, same with us Aussies :) Pyjamas. Another one that drives me nuts is you guys spell "tyres" as in wheels on your car "tires" - which in Australia means the real meaning of being tired/tiring someone out, etc :p
 
I've learned the british english. it's the same with color and colour.

I write pyjama, because its germanized :-)

So us Americans are wierd and can't spell, huh?? Well :p to you! lol

I have seen both ways, however i say PJs.

I also say bananas as ba-na-nas.
and i think 'tyres' looks funny lol

BTW, I love you Aussies; your accent rocks! I've always wanted to go to Australia.
i have a boring midwestern no-accent accent. :(
