Note
A regular plural built on the shortened spelling of doughnut, the form used in the US, Canada and Australia. Only the singular's spelling differs; the plural simply adds -s either way, so donuts and doughnuts name the same pastries. A careful writer picks one spelling and keeps it throughout, reaching for the shorter form when writing for American, Canadian or Australian readers.
