I always thought pyjama was a typo-- but apparently people actually use this version (is it even said the same ? LMAO I see pyjama and think PIE )

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...

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

So us Americans are wierd and can't spell, huh?? Well 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.
