...You mean it's not spelled "doughnut"? I mean, I know there's the stupid short version, but I thought the real way to spell it was really "doughnut," anyway. n_n And yeah, it's a drive-through.
As for colour and favourite, I don't use either of those, but it's not a problem.
What annoys me is when people use "thru" instead of "through" in a setting that has nothing to do with a restaurant that will serve you your food through your driver's side window.

oh but to speak british is so much more fun, to get the very strong british sound, you have to kinda stutter on certain T's it's quite exciting.
Like the game "The Movies" It's a wonderful game that is very fun.

The movies is kinda fun, but british speak/spelling = not.
Maybe it's my hatred of british accents (I refuse to watch otherwise good movies sometimes just because the main character(s) speak with a british accent) that make me dislike the 'odd' spellings. When its spelled "favourite" it makes me associate the whole sentence with Britain, thus making me hate everything about the sentence.

I enjoy british accents, mostly so I can trick myself into thinking friends and co-workers are playfully adopting a british vernacular and politely asking for a cigarette, rather than calling me a fag. Ahhh, frequent retreats into blissful states of self-denial, how I know and love you!
Also, The Movies sucked.
