Doughnut is the technically accurate name, though in recent years 'Donut' has become more and more common, how do you spell it?

I believe doughnut is technically correct, but everyone says donut. Since words are meant for communication, and I've never heard anyone be confused by the "donut" spelling, I support that one.

Donut of course, you aren't eating nuts made of dough silly. But you are doing nuts when you eat them.

From the AutoCAD documentation:
Donuts are filled rings or solid-filled circles that actually are closed polylines with width.
To create a donut, you specify its inside and outside diameters and its center. You can continue creating multiple copies with the same diameter by specifying different center points. To create solid-filled circles, specify an inside diameter of 0.
