| HappySqurriel said: Most English speeking countries have a slightly different dialect from other English speaking countries, and within these countries different regions will have slightly different dialects from other regions within the same country. American English is (somewhat) unique because Americans have choosen some bizzare spellings for words; my personal favourite is the American spelling for doughnut ... Being that it is a product that is made from dough and in the shape of a nut they decided upon the spelling 'donut' |
Ya know, I had to look that one up, because I know it as doughnut. Apparently we interchangably use both spellings. Krispy Creme uses Doughnut on their home page, which is the most popular doughnut shop in my area. But I do see other doughnut shops use donut, like Winchell's Donuts.
