Answer 11

no we spell donut like donut

unless there retarted or sometihng lol

Answer 12

Most people I know in America spell them like "donut" and "color."

And the donut restaurants spell it like "donut."

I hardly ever see anyone who spells them "doughnut" and "colour" but both ways are correct.

Answer 13

Well 'color' has been pretty well covered, but I wanted to chime in for 'doughnut'.  Then again, I'm in Massachusetts and we're kind of formal about stuff here.  We are where Dunkin' Donuts started, and like to keep the brand name spelling distinct from the correct spelling.

PS: In the US we also usually capitalise "I" and "I'm", even in the middle of a sentence.

Answer 14

im American and i spell it as donut and color

Answer 15

No.

Donut is still Donut.

and some people spell color like colour...i think haha.

Answer 16

It's generally donut and color, but I was taught colour as a kid

Answer 17

Nope. Color is spelled as color only in America.

Answer 18

yes they do. i am also canadian and i think its cause of the british roots that makes us spell differently. just like how americans have imperial and we have metric. im pretty sure the US and like only a couple other countries use imperial...... its odd though how the british spell 'tire' like ' tyre' . whatever

Answer 19

Lol, no, we're not Brittish.  We spell color like color and donut like donut. (Although there is the occasional American who really doesn't know how to spell donut.)

Answer 20

No they don't, Americans and Canadians have butchered the language handed to us all by the English. You also miss-spell Neighbour, favour, Mum, honour, analyse, criticise, memorise, enrolment, fulfil, skilful, centre, metre, theatre, analogue, catalogue, dialogue, encyclopaedia, manoeuvre, mediaeval, cheque, arguement, judgement, defence, licence, jewellery, dreaghut, pyjamas, plough, programme and tyre.... there are a whole lot more i am sure but you get the idea...

Answer 21

You'll often hear these words, "American English" and "International English" I think Canada uses the International English version, and obviously, the Americans use American English.

There are slight variations, such as the use of S's instead of Z, and the random placing of U's.

Answer 22

Color is definitely color

Doughnut and Donut depends, I usually alternate the spelling

Answer 23

Doughnut or donut, either way.

Color.  We leave out the extra vowel (honor, valor, etc.)

Different THAN in America.....

Answer 24

here it is donut and color.  

Answer 25

americans spell it like this color, and donut
