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?

    Segue
    I always trip over that one and start reading it as French.

      I just learned last month I’ve been doing the same thing and mispronouncing it for over three decades. But it’s Italian!

        In the uncut version of Romeo and Juliet, there was a vague segue to a Montague tongue.

        Problem is that when you write it as pronounced, it becomes segway. Which just makes me think of those two-wheeled scooter thingies.

      The now-defunct electric scooter company spelled it as it should be, Segway.
