I wasted a couple of hours trying to find undiced pimentos for that dish. I finally figured that Kroger had them but they were called Pimientos ( look close, note the second i ).
Pimento and pimiento are two spellings of the same word that mean a certain variety of sweet red pepper, usually pickled. A pimento or pimiento is often stuffed into a green olive, a delicacy that first appeared in France in the 1700s. The word pimento or pimiento is derived from the Spanish word pimienta, which means allspice or pepper. The plural forms are pimentos and pimientos.
Why isn't the DB manger smart enough to cross reference those 2 words?

Or am I the only one who did not know there were two different spellings?

I've never seen it spelled that way but apparently it is a legitimate spelling. Could be the database manager didn't notice the two spellings or just assumed everybody knew.
Assume is a good word, break it down ass-u-me.
