You mean a 'chaise longue'?
And you just criticised somebody else's written English!
More than one person making the same mistake does not legitimise the mistake. Popular or common usage can, however, often seemingly legitimise a word. US vs Brit' English is an old battleground and provides very easy pickings for the pedantic. Frankly I don't give 2 hoots how you spell or pronounce - my wrath was aroused by your superciliousness towards one of obviously lesser education.
Ya git ma drift?
No animosity, and respect to you for standing your ground and stating your case. But, give them a chance, huh?
PS Not from the USA. Not English.
