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?

      English is a second language to me, and at this point it’s probably the only commonly used word I consistently mess up. It usually ends up something like ‘nessecairy’

        spelt how it’s pronounced though

        I’m not sure you meant this as a joke but it is funny.

        Learning yet another irregular pronunciation because some N-hundred years ago their majesty Shithead von Cunt wanted to sound fancy and everyone just played along is not funny.

        cries, not knowing how to properly pronounce most English words

      Necessary? I would have never thought of any of those weird spellings. It’s spelled like it’s said lol.
