To have missed the fact that the spelling of the word 'pyjamas' recently changed?

[Bocolatechiscuit]

To 'pajamas'?! Wtf? I know there are some things that people notoriously get wrong, the usual 'chester draws', 'defiantly' (definitely) and even 'rest bite' (respite)! But 'pajamas' seems to be a new one or have I just missed it for years?! I've even seen it on printed mugs etc recently! Aaargh!

And breathe...

I'd say pah-jah-mahs (if autocorrect will allow me!) spelled pyjamas. I'm Irish.

sulphur got changed to sulfur.....not in my bloody classroom and I will embrace the change.

cross out fail :-(

Mine definitely have a "y"

Surely rest bite is just a predictive text thing?

Dorset here....p-jar-mas short p not pur. Spelling pyjamas the correct way too.

Never mind all that, how do you spell houmous humus hummus?

And how many 'L's are there in 'chilli'?

pur-jar-mers

Thats fucking painful to read.

I would pronounce it like that, Martha. But as I'm southern I wouldn't really pronounce the rs.

Pur as in purse, jar as in ... jar, mur like mer in meringue.

It hasn't on my new next jimjams downstairs.

I did a lot of growing up both sides of t'atlantic so quite often get confused as to which way I should be spelling things. I mostly go English but have been known to go US English on occasion.

I found myself spelling them pajamas until I saw dh write it as pyjamas and I had this lightbulb moment that if grown up spelling it with a y but had inadvertently changed. I have changed back toot sweet!

Interestingly, my iPhone underlines pajamas in red but not pyjamas, so it agrees with me!

Fuck off the lot of you.

It's jim jams.

It pisses me off but I don't pretend to be confused by it. People spell words incorrectly and pick up American spellings. We all know it. It's a pain but hey ho!

Surprised why Maryz?

or they could be changed to be called a twosie (i.e a onesie in two bits).

pyjamas always make me itchy as i think i'll get thrush if i wear them. tmi and it's too late for me to care

Thrush. I call them jimjams although I can't sing 'bananas in jimjams' so they have to be pyjamas.

Pur Ja Mers is how I say it.

Toot sweet? Is that a thing now as well Ludways?

pi-ja-mas

West of Scotland

Well my 4yo calls them 'jamamas', and she's right about everything, always.

That's brilliant Maryz!

Gotta agree. Off to get some 'erbal tea and hold down a fort....
