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?

    My poor GF knows English as a second language and was very embarrassed when I pointed out the L was silent, because she had been saying it that way her entire life.

    But mostly to her parents who also speak Spanish, so mostly she was embarrassed that I had to tell her XD In Spanish you pronounce the L, so she didn’t even consider that the L was silent in English (Because why would it be).
