While fixing all instances of a singular "PJ" or "pajama", I found that you had [[Talk:Disciplinary Action/Disciplinary Office/First Week/Perl/PJs|already given me this advice before]], including the mention that pants are plural. Please don't take that as me not paying attention, I honestly forgot about it until I read it again right now. I do appreciate you helping me improve my English, and I'm sorry I made you repeat yourself. I promise I'll try to pay more attention in the future. In my defense, I was in the middle of a stressing external review and was distracted by it. --[[User:Tod Naturlich|Tod Naturlich]] ([[User talk:Tod Naturlich|talk]]) 08:07, 16 November 2017 (CET) | |||

Reading back over this, I thought about saying something the 1st time and I should have, not sure why I didn't. At any rate, once again, the term "Pajamas" and "PJs" are always treated as pluralized with the exception of if you are talking about a singular "pajama" covered person, body, or body part. Or, if you are talking about it in the abstract, such as "Pearl was issued the pajama punishment." Outside of those two scenarios, pajamas are always treated as plural in the same way that pants are plural. That means not only pluralizing it by adding the s at the end, but also using plural speech in connection with anything that refers to the pajamas. Jemini (talk) 07:02, 16 November 2017 (CET)
