Biscuts are those things a batter puts on his bat while he's on deck ... or or those doughnuts?

Yep ... they're doughnuts.

I'm glad we cleared that up.

No but I'm sure any american looking at a biscuit would call it a cookie no? I think it's all down to differences in language. Maybe I'm wrong.

"Webster's got it wrong . . ."

It's definately Koo-Kuh. Not Kuh-Shun. Koo-Kuh.

Is Kuchen not pronounced "Koo-Shun"? Although rather than a "sh" sound, it's more of a back of the throat sound and I don't know how to type that in english lol.


Matt is right

I'm still on the Kuchen pronunciation thing. It is DEFINATELY >>koo-kuh<<.

Sadie says I pronounce it correctly. So does Jackie. And we (three kings of orient) are right. Yes we are.

Doughnut spelled doughnut is the correct way, because . . . technically it's a dough nut, although it's more of an ''O,'' rather than a nut. Yeah. BUt, commercially, it's donut, 'cause it cost less to print it than spelling it fully and correctly.

That is all.
