It's important, obviously.

In England doughnut is the correct spelling but I'll use both depending on the brand. E.g Dunkin' Donuts

Edit: auto correct

This! Except I'm not in England!

Doughnut is CORRECT. But because of branding, we use Donut so much that it's, like, sort of also correct. Like how a tissue is a Kleenex. Or a copy is a Xerox.

And vacuum cleaner is a hoover.

Ah ok I didn't know if it was just here as we spell color, colour.

Nope, here it's just color, labor, etc.

Yeah Hoover is actually a brand. I didn't know this until about 6 months ago!

Yeah, I know it's a brand, but we don't call vacuums hoovers!

We call all sodas "cokes" though.

In England the trunk of a car is a boot, right?

@Kaylajade8911‌ I will now forever only read your posts in an English accent.

Were you not already doing this?! LOL

I had to seriously think about donut vs doughnut. I guess I use both.

bumpuser10309732 · September 2014

I don't have a preference. I will eat both without discrimination.

Jennyc00 · September 2014

Omg... I never ever eat donuts but nor I want a blueberry cake donut NOW!!!!

Dani0329 · September 2014

Doughnut unless I am going to Dunkin Donut.

golfingdarwinfish · September 2014

I tried the pumpkin pie doughnut today.

Ehhhh....

But I love the standard pumpkin doughnut with glaze. I normally hate dunkin donuts, but that is one yummy doughnut.

MrsSinner402 · September 2014

I don't care how it's spelled, they're both delicious.

sabby2 · September 2014

It makes me laugh that this has 111 votes. I'm also surprised that the clear winner is Donut. Who knew?

I also now want a donut. I don't have a dunkin' donuts close by to try this pumpkin doughnut that everyone is speaking about. I'm a little sad.

BreandMikewedding · September 2014

We have a local grocery store here that makes doughnuts and they are seriously better than dunkin donuts! ~O)

sabby2 · September 2014

2 of the grocery stores here have bakeries inside. They're pretty legit. We used to have a small family owned bakery which was freaking amazing but they ended up closing. They had the best pastries and cakes and basically everything.
