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?

Might start an argument but:
GIF -> GHIF

It’s actually pronounced “JIF”

It stands for the Jraphics Interchange Format

JIF is peanut butter

Jif is a surface cleaner.

“It’s a floor wax.”

“It’s a dessert topping.”

“It’s a floor wax.”

“It’s a dessert topping.”

GH as in "laugh"? People'd start flame wars over whether "FIF" is the intended pronunciation...
