Beanie Babies?? How old is this picture?
Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/
Sadly, less than eight hours old. I just took it today. Haha.
Is the fail in the spelling of Doughnuts?
As far as I know, donut is also recognized as a correct spelling.
Donut is considered correct in America, although I don’t quite understand why…
Really? I always got corrected if I left out the u in doughnut.
Originally it was a compound word: doughnaught (naught like zero, as in naughts and crosses).
I’m sure “doughnut” is the English spelling whereas the American is “donut”
you can spell it both ways but i like spelling it doughnut because it looks better (i’m in california).
doughnut = acceptable in America
donut = acceptable in America
Dounut = pretty sure wrong everywhere
I concur.. sadly, “donut” is now an accepted spelling of the word. America fail.
So you’re saying it’s okay for everyone to use plural verbs for singular nouns like the British do?
America can’t fail, just the people who decided spell it that way, like “dive-thru”
wow, hit enter too early there
America can’t fail, just the people who decided spell it that way, like “drive-thru”
Perhaps America felt it would be more efficient to remove the extra letters. Think of all the saved time!
One more reason American should be recognized as its own language so we can leave the poor people who speak actual English with their sanity.
… Am I the only one who read it as “doxnut?”
Donut is an acceptable spelling of doughnut in North America. The fail in this picture is in recognising that it wasn’t in fact fail.
Title: Allegation of bad correction failed.
Yea, come on people, doughnut? Nobody in America has EVER spelt it that way (Take it from an American, or you could look and see how Dunkin DONUTS is spelt… Gah Englishpeoples)
What puzzles me is how Beanie Babies = do[u]nuts and candy…
I just write doughnoughts and piss everyone off. I mean, that’s what it is – a nought made of dough.
I have always believed that the first doughnuts were small, round balls of fried dough, about the size of a hazelnut. Thus, the name “doughnut” came from the idea that they were nuts made of dough.
At least the OED has the spelling “Doughnut” or “Dough-nut” going back to 1809.
Does it really matter?
We all know what a doughnut is, and a donut.
America is lazy, and if you think about it, who cares?
These sorts of variant spellings are why I use British English in place of American English. R. P. for the win!
