Answer Trivia Contest No. 78

Most American English words differ from their British English counterparts in standard ways, such as color/colour, center/centre and realize/realise. The seven-letter word in American English that becomes its British English equivalent when an A is changed to a Y is “pajamas,” which in England is spelled “pyjamas.” Winner: Dayle Sternstein of Deerfield Beach, Fla.
