Finding Grand Junction, Colorado's Best Donut

As I'm sure you are no doubt aware, a donut is NOT a donut! As any connoisseur will tell you, some donuts make life worth living, while others are flat nasty. The right doughnut can set the tone for the rest of your day.

What's In a Name?

Before we get too far, let's settle one discussion once and for all - is it a donut, or is it a doughnut?

According to www.grammarist.com, the dictionary-approved spelling for these rings dipped in fat is "Doughnut." So, then, where did "donut" come from? It seems we have Dunkin' Donuts to thank for that. Apparently, they're responsible for the popularization of the abbreviated form.

I did a similar survey a few years ago. In that post, I created several more variations on the spelling:

Donought
Do-Nut
Dow-nut

Upon receiving an email from Zane Mathews asking which drug I happened to be on at the moment, it seemed wise to ditch my funky spellings and stick with the two popular versions: Donut and Doughnut.
