I'm picking "Colonel" needs to be respelled to match how it's pronounced.

Try to pick a word no one else has picked. What word are you respelling?

I like this one because I instantly knew what word it was despite it having a brand new spelling. Almost like letters should have meanings.

I was wondering if Reese pee was liquid peanut butter for a moment.

English isn't my native language. I thought for years (and I'm talking of 10+) it would be pronounced "ree-sipe".

Re-ci-pe... yeah that's just how yoy read it.
