I desperately need your opinion!

[NeverendingJen]

My husband and I are arguing over this! Which one of us is right?

[heathergw]

doughnut

donuts is part of the Dunkin' Donuts brand name, although, I would vote for #3, just eat 'em

[HeatherKS]

I picked the I don't care, I just eat 'em! option but if I was getting technical, I'd say that doughnuts is the "proper" way to spell it and donuts is the "slang" way to spell it. But that's just my opinion.

[KristinCB]

doughnuts.. but none of them matter because its ALL about the timbits.. canadian gals can attest to that lolol

[Darcy Baldwin]

they are evil...i don't even say their name LOL

[NeverendingJen]

I'm curious to see how this plays out, lol!

Personally, I'm just a fan of em in general...which is why I rarely buy em, lol, but tomorrow is the first day of school and it's our new tradition!

[AmberK]

Jen - my youngest adores them, so we use them for first day of school and birthday treats. The only 2 times of the year they get them LOL

[MamaBee]

I just gained 5 pounds reading the word!

I chose donuts... that is what I see where I'm from.... but also I'm a really bad speller... :P

[lauren grier]

I said donuts.. but i live in a sea of DD's .. so i dont think i've ever even SEEN it spelled the proper way irl

[lovely1m]

doughnut just looks weird. lol I also get them for my son on his birthday.

ETA, I just spell checked it and neither one was shown as wrong.

This.

[heathergw]

I just looked them both up on dictionary.com and they both are correct but like previously said donut is more slang and doughnut is the proper name, lol

[BrattyMeg]

mmmm now i want a doughnut or a donut..either one will work!

[Megan Turnidge]

I've always spelled it donut.

[emmasmommy]

doughnut is 'correct' in my mind but i spell it donut

hehe. We do em for special treats as well as now the first day of school. I really just need to learn to make em myself...but now that a DD is being built down the road its going to be really hard to resist!

Yeah, this!

[Priscilla]

If your ever in TExas, try Round Rock Donuts. ... in Round Rock, of course.

[jacinda]

I'm sitting here munching on carrots. Don't be tempting me with doughnuts.....

[Lyd]

What Heather said. Donut is an alternate spelling of doughnut. But, I voted for #3. Just eat 'em.

Yeah-I've lived in places where there's practically a Dunkin Donuts on every other block, so I'm used to donut, too. I don't think either is wrong, but that's how I'd write it.

[DeepGirl]

Why to argue when they're so yummy?! Voted for the 3rd...

[adrianka]

As a linguist I voted for the doughnuts. As a person I'd vote for the third one.

Anyways, if in some areas of the English-speaking world "donuts" is the most used variant, it's correct. It's just that doughnut is no way incorrect. ;-)

Eat them, and forget about it.

[carriesmom]

I spell it donuts. But I was born in Texas.

[LibbysMommy]

Same here...

They're yummy either way you spell it!!

[Joana1n]

I was born & raised in Texas. I have lived here for 29 years. And I spell it doughnut. Webster.com says donut is a variation of doughnut, but doughnut is the one that gets the full definition. You're both right.

[NeverendingJen]

Majority says I win, lol! I don't really care except to just eat them...and then run an extra bit to burn off those extra calories, lol

[ayaandjudah]

I went to Toronto last August (has it been a year already?) and was a firm, tried and true Dunkin Donuts gal. Well there are no DD around but there was a Tim Hortons within walking distance of my hotel.

HOLY COW! That place rocked. Seriously. The coffee was awesome and the timbits were divine.

donut. i didn't realize there was another spelling........D'oh!

[Giseli Freitas]

ummm... I don't know. I'm not an English speaker but I would say donut b/c doughnut has this 'gh' impossible sound to say for non English speakers. I could point and say "I want one of that yummy shaped in ring thing over there". Glad I can't talk when I'm eating.
