Pretty blatant one for "donut" versus "doughnut": has one spelling in the item name and a different one in the description.

they/them/theirs, please.

I heart this thread (I once wrote up tons of apostrophe issues, gray v grey issues, old species name issues, etc) except for doughnut.

"In the US, both are used, with donut indicated as a variant of doughnut.[137]"

It's Donut. Every store around me is Donut. I am in TX, for the record.

I get Doughnut, it's Germanic (though even the Germans don't usually use it) but it just reads... awful to me. Also, 'doughnut' is listed as a British spelling as well. I don't think it's as cut and dried as the dropped u or other examples on this list, at all.

Even Google seems to agree. Donut > first result "donuts near me". Doughnut > first result "doughnut vs donut", then "doughnuts near me".

Doughnut is technically the correct, dictionary spelling of it. Donut is incorrect, it's even underlined as a misspelling. Donut is popular because of Dunkin' Donuts, but it's still not correct.

Also wondering if the spellings of the other items will be taken care of, there's so many in the OP now it's hard to edit :(

Since this thread is still relevant, there's dark matter vs. darkmatter items that need to be fixed.

Examples: vs.

The best way to be happy with someone is to be happy alone. That way, company is a matter of choice and not a necessity.

This has been bothering me off and on for a while:

Delish Limited Edition Magus

Delish Limited Edition Syne</p>
<p>Limited Edition Delish Moros
Limited Edition Delish Raven
Limited Edition Delish New
Limited Edition Delish Year

I'd prefer they all be "Limited Edition Delish name here" because it's easier to search for them that way.

I found some, may look for more later:

There are a couple item descriptions that use centre instead of center. and then this cw

and then there's a bunch of item descriptions that still use favour/favourite instead of favor and favorite.

artefact vs artifact Spelled correctly in the item name and then incorrectly in the description.

behavior vs behaviour

jewelled and bejewelled vs jeweled and bejeweled also the description of that one
the description in these

catalogue vs catalog item names also the desccription of this one the description of this one

cosy vs cozy item descriptions

fibre vs fiber item descriptions

humour vs humor item descriptions

I don't think any of these have been mentioned before. I don't want this post to get too long so I'm gonna stop here lol sorry it's quite a lot.

Some of the saheric headscarves are "leopard print" (leopard print elegant saheric headscarf) and others are "leopard" (leopard loose twist saheric headscarf)

hotdog vs hot dog and corndog vs corn dog

Is button-up vs button up a consistency issue or do they mean different things?

Kora Pop Up Book (all other books are "Pop-Up Book")

argh I hate inconsistencies in items of the same type; some of this is aesthetic but that one can be seriously confusing. The same thing happened with the leopard saheric headscarves (in the post above you)

noticed this one while filling a tc -- "Antique (Colorway) (Item)" vs "(Colorway) Antique (Item)"
vs
thirty pieces of furniture are "Antique (Colorway) (Item)" (chairs and couches) and fifteen are "(Colorway) Antique (Item)" (day beds and dining tables). the divide is consistent through all five colorways (ashen, blonde, dark, light, and mild), but it does make it a little difficult to search for sets x;

I didn't see them on the list but we have both Snow Cones and Snowcones vs Should be Snow Cone, with a space. None of the flavors overlap so just fixing the spacing issue wouldn't be hard.
