pajama or pyjama

[lauren grier]

which way do you spell it?

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 )

 

[~*Liz*~]

i always spell it pajama- LOL
I dont know about the other way

 

[Brooke W]

I've seen both ways, but I've always used the "a" version

 

[isaacsmom]

I've always spelled it with an "a" but then I'm not the best speller...

 

[CA Dreamer]

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...

 

[Nikki Epperson]

lol - always, always with an "a"

 

[jessica31876]

with an A but I dont call them pajamas I call them p.j.'s

 

[Joan]

Pyjama, 'cos this Canadian speaks old school real English.

 

[Andrea Gourley]

Pyjamas of course.

You Americans just can't spell

Only joking :wub: xx

 

[scrapperjade]

I always spell it with the A...

 

[Angie4b1g]

Bananas in Pajamas....

 

[ditzyscrap]

Pyjamas... Even though my sister is a weirdo and spells like an American.

 

[pbumbaca]

I spell it P.J.'s

 

[Jennifer]

With an a. Not sure I've even seen it with the y.

 

[KirstieGai]

we Aussies spell it pyjama's

 

[scrappinsweetie]

pajamas, never seen the other spelling...LOL

 

[digideb]

Bananas in Pajamas....

I'm mad at you! Now I'm gonna have that stupid song stuck in my head forever!
Definitely with an A

 

[KirstieGai]

well, actually, they are Australian and the correct spelling is Bananas in PYJAMAS and bananas is pronounce ba-na-nas not ban-an-as

Bananas in Pajamas....

 

[~Julie~]

pajama

 

[Becca Bonneville]

With an "A" but I also just say PJ's! LOL!!

 

[LibbysMommy]

I've only ever seen it spelled with an 'a'

 

[lisarose]

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....

 

[EveRecinella]

With a Y, cause that is just how I roll! lol

 

[Zoe Pearn]

Pyjamas of course.

You Americans just can't spell

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

 

[alexandra]

I've learned the british english. it's the same with color and colour.

I write pyjama, because its germanized

 

[meganmecrazy]

I didn't know about the pYjama spelling! LOL! I always spelled it pajama!

 

[junebug]

Pyjamas... Even though my sister is a weirdo and spells like an American.

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.

 

[Sharon Kay]

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

 

[my3hens]

I spell it Pajamas too and the tyres looks really really odd to me LOL.

 

[scrappychic]

pajama for me

 

[bellbird425]

we Aussies spell it pyjama's

yep
