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

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'm aware of the origins of the different spellings of aluminum/aluminium.

I disagree that it's two entirely different words which is the case for eggplant/aubergine that come from two different languages.

I can't think of another example that's better though.
