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...

Pyjamas of course.

You Americans just can't spell :cool:

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

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. :(

I've never seen it with the "y" until just now. Pajamas and Pjs is the only way I had seen it.
