Answers:
Donut did not originate with the Simpson!. We spelled it that way when I was a kid, loooooooong before the Simpsons!.
The first known printed use of donut was in a Los Angeles Times article dated August 10, 1929!. There, Bailey Millard jokingly complains about the decline of spelling, and that he "can't swallow the 'wel-dun donut' nor the ever so 'gud bred'!." The interchangeability of the two spellings can be found in a series of "National Donut Week" articles in The New York Times that covered the 1939 World's Fair!. In four articles beginning October 9, two mention the donut spelling!. Dunkin' Donuts, which was founded in 1948 under the name Open Kettle (Quincy, Massachusetts), is the oldest surviving company to use the donut variation, but the now defunct Mayflower Donut Corporation appears to be the first company to use that spelling, having done so prior to World War II!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

currently in America, there is a huge number of words that are being changed from the traditional English spelling (ie night becomes nite, light becomes lite, doughnut becomes donut) to help kids learn how to spell the words phonetically (where you hear every letter), so it is easier to learn how to spell!. English is a ridiculous language to start with, but I don't think this changing is a good plan nor will it completely help!. People will go overseas and be so confused with proper English spelling!. America already does not use the u's (favourite, colour, flavour, etc) and all of North America basically uses tire instead of tyre, which is used in pretty much every other English (or non English) speaking countryWww@FoodAQ@Com
Brits telling us we spell things oddly!? This from the people who spell jail, "gaol"!?
It was probably originally "dough knot" or "dough naught" (dough zero) The word Donut has been around for a long time though probably to save money on signs for places like "Dunkin Donuts" and "Mr Donut"
The shape is in part to make them cook evenly but it also helps since they can't flip over again once you turn them!.
Hmm Simpson!.!.!. maybe eventully it will be shortened even more to "Doh!"
