The traditional spelling of the word is "doughnut", although the spelling adopted by Dunkin' Donuts has been gaining in popularity.  Some people might say that "donut" should be flagged; I insist only that "doughnut" ought to be recognized.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Enter the words "donut" and "doughnut" in a form.
Actual Results:  
The word "doughnut" was not recognized.

Expected Results:  
The word "doughnut" should not be flagged.

I'm aware of "Add to dictionary" and feel this is an actual omission, rather than a matter of choice.

If this is not a bug in the spellchecker code, then you should probably file this bug to the people who actually maintain the dictionary...

This is a WFM as I am using the en-GB-oed dictionary. Suggest you use this version instead.
