True donut lovers likely have a plan of attack for Friday, which marks National Donut Day. (Pro tip for those who looking ahead to 2024: The day always falls on the first Friday of June.)
The annual celebration for bear claw lovers, jelly-filled fanatics and sprinkle super-fans is usually marked by shops handing out free fluffy, airy, sugary goodies. And this year is no different.
But we're concerned with the more pressing issue: Does anyone actually still spell it D-O-U-G-H-N-U-T?
Mary McCoy, senior librarian in the arts, music and recreation department at the Los Angeles Central Library, says that is her preferred spelling, though she admits "the O-U-G-H version is definitely unwieldy."
"It is purely personal preference because upon looking into it, they seem to be equally acceptable," McCoy explains.
Justifying her own choice, she says: "It just looks more official, though I don't know why a doughnut needs to be official."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel currently donuts are a no from my care team. Otherwise I’d get a chocolate glazed donut or a Bavarian crème chocolate frosted.
