No.

Names for dishes are constantly reappropriated by restaurants trying to communicate things about themselves to customers. Eg Jus: originally french meaning juice, came to mean the juice from a cooked piece of meat. Nowadays when someone says Jus on a menu they arent just serving pan juices, its almost always red wine sauce (red wine reduction and demi-glace) but red wine sauce doesnt sound as sexy. it sounds old fashioned. actually its less old fashioned than jus. Customers and chefs and most important the people who write menus (not chefs) dont know a whole lot about food and arent interested in nomeclature.

So you can basically call anything a donut (or doughnut?) at this point and noone will say shit.

No, they do not need a hole. Jam doughnuts do not have a hole.

I wonder why the Americans spell doughnuts as "Donuts".

I don't know, considering they're made out of dough, it should be spelt doughnuts.

Also, despite the fact they spell it donuts, which is a spelling that clearly should be pronounced "do-nuts", they pronounce it "dough-nuts".

And I don't believe Spanish to be a true language* of the USA.

The reason being, there's over 6 million illegal Mexican immigrants. Any language decided by illegal aliens shouldn't count. Look at the word......ILLEGAL.

The true illegals are the white europeans that came from the other side of the atlantic, and killed, and raped all the natives from north to south america this happened rulfy 180 years ago. Thier is meny illegal immigrants like Jews, british, french, chinese, koreans and meny more.
Mexicans lived here why before any european set foot here. Americas is made by illegal immigrants.

That didn't make illegal immigration right. You can't justify "border hopping".
