h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The smiley for doughnut doesn't work because it's mispelled both in the description and the longcode as "donut".
Also, Does it really have to have that yucky pink icing?

I bet you can tell I have important things I should be doing right now

So you know, "donut" is now an accepted spelling of the word doughnut. Americans are lazy and it caught on.

I dunno, try to make h2g2 pink and fluffy, and all we get is complaints.

Although I'd love a nice cappuchino doughnut. Mmmm....

the spelling doesn't matter....

with me by the time it's spelt (us or uk) it's gone...

Jack-oh

Donuts are awesome (ah look! an american! ;p )
and I agree with Jack-oh's sentiment.
Although, no strawberry for me.. *runs off to get a maple donut*

In case you don't feel like looking back at the postings, I was the one that said Americans are lazy. I am an American. I'm not saying we're all lazy, but we do take a lot of short cuts.
I personally like an apple cinnamon donut with a glass of orange juice.
mmm...

Apple Cinnamon.. Yum!

This seems to be a case of selective enforcement.
When I did an article and consistantly wrote dates as
AD 1 AD 2 the editors changed them to 1 AD 2 AD with a footnote that they had to follow their editorial policies.
well how about this editorial policy from
<./>SubEditors-Style</.> Major things
................Use British English Spelling rather than American English Spelling. If that is editorial policy you should follow it. PS. I am an American.

*pompous on* () If you look closely at the link you supply Shagbark, you'll see that it is titled 'English useage in the Edited Guide'. Yes, that's right, *Edited*. And smileys aren't allowed in The Edited Guide, so it doesn't break any guidelines at all. So *pompous off*

How's that? I told you it sounded pompous. And I've added childish for good measure.

that settled I'll get back to my towel smiley party and lay out some dounots. (I never spell correctly anyway)

Anyone that wants to drop in to my party may do so at A780707

Has anyone yet mentioned that it takes less effort to type donut than doughnut?

Oooooh! a pretty pink donut/doughnut.

just to add to the confuzzlement it should really be spelled

DOUGHNOUGHT-when yer finished!

yuk-yuk-yuk!

It's definitely a homeresque donut.

I can only assume, and seriously hope, that you mean Homer(Simpson)esque.

who else?

Homer the Greek 'poet' who couldn't write?

Did the Ancient Greeks have s?

I am aware of the existence of other homers, but when it comes to s there is really no need to question which is moe relevant.

Mmm... do(ugh)nut... hmm, wait, looking at the letters... well, whatever, that's pure coincidental irrelevance. I'm American but half-Chinese, lazy, and prefer 'donut.' (As well as the single quote... that does take less effort, when you think about it.) I like creme-filled donuts, which don't have holes. Go figure.

well i bring something up.... the last time i checked? thinking took effort... too much for my liking but oh well.... and i do actually perfer Donut and i'm Canadian. it's easier to spell.
