Bedroom SUIT?

[rjoubert]

There's a television commercial for a local furniture store that advertises a bedroom suit for sale. Shouldn't it be a bedroom suite? Or is a bedroom suit also acceptable?

This is not a typo either. These words are spoken in the commercial.

Hmmm it could be true if it comes with Pajamas.

If you wear your birthday suit to bed, doesn't that make it a bedroom suit?

The desk clerk handed the room key to Costello and stated, "Your suite, sir."

Costello replied, "I like you, too!"

rjoubert, Merriam-Webster acknowledges suite pronounced rhyming with boot as a secondary pronunciation. Our family noticed this pronunciation when we lived in the southeastern U.S. To our ears, it always sounded like a substandard pronunciation. I believe that Merriam-Webster considers it an "off-brand" pronunciation, as well, since all of the examples it offers as rhyming words to suite also rhyme with sweet.

They should throw in a Morning Suit in the package as well.

Kind regards
