Donut vs Doughnut

Do you spell it as “donut” or “doughnut”?

In German it’s Donut, so I also write donut in English, I never even knew there’s the possiblity to spell it doughnut :joy:

Donut, for the same reason, that’s how we call here in the Netherlands, even though they aren’t a that big thing here :upside_down_face:

It’s called “munk” in Swedish which means “monk” because of their hairstyle :joy: But nowadays people say/write “donut” too.

In Spanish, it’s called “dona”.
Although “doughnut” is probably the correct spelling because it’s a compound word (dough + nut), I’m just more comfortable writing it as “donut”.

It really just depends on you you talk to. I use Donut, but Doughnut is probably more professional seeming.

Donut. One time my sister and I were watching a movie with subtitles and the word came up as doughnut. She started freaking out thinking she’s been misspelling it for 10 years! “OMG! I’ve been spelling it do nut?!”
Had to explain that there’s 2 different spellings :sweat_smile:
