And I was so sure that the term pyjamas only referred to two-piece items with legs, arms, etc, rather than being a generic term. And [1] seems to agree. Martinhi mum

I'm moving the article to the more common term, see [2]. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]] 20:39, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)

This word entered the language via the British Empire in India. I therefore think it could count as a UK related topic and British English spelling should be used. Any thoughts?

So you want to move a long-standing American English title to the Commonwealth spelling, because India was once part of the British Empire. Strange, when I've seen Americans use similar justification for keeping Latin American-related articles in American English, they were told that the Monroe Doctrine is not recognised by Wikipedia. It is my opinion that each article should retain the spelling used by whichever editor has made the most contribution to it, so long as said contributions were of high quality. It seems that in this case, we should go with 'pajamas', because that's what it's been for most of its history, and the majority of contributing editors have been fine with it.
