You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick?

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?

Ressepee

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".
