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’d spell cache as cache so Australians know it’s pronounced like “cash” not like “kaysch”.

      I refuse to pronounce it that way. But at least “kaysch” sounds better than “cash-ay”

        I’m not sure it sounds any better than cayshe, but cash-ay is very wrong. There is also a French word “cachet” which gives us the English word “cachet” which is pronounced “cash-ay” similar to how the French word “cache” gives us the English word “cache”, but there’s no reason to pronounce cache as cachet.

      I’ll accept that, only as long as Americans learn that route is pronounced “root”, not “rout”.

        … I pronounce route as root. But I pronounce rerouted like rout. Huh.
