FUN FACT:

DONUTS VS DOUGHNUT?

The Oxford English Dictionary approved the spelling for the fried, ring-shaped cake made of dough as doughnut. But the shortened version一donut一has been around since the late 1800s. It wasn’t popularized until the late 20th century, when the popular American doughnut chain Dunkin’ Donuts made the word famous. Also, back then when writing newspapers, writers had to shortcut most words, since they charged for every letter they had.
