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?

    Highpurrbolley.

    I pronounced it hyper-bowl in my head for a loooong time until I had to say it out loud one time and got laughed at.

      As someone who read a lot as a child I still find myself saying hyperbowl. I’d certainly heard the correct pronunciation but it wasn’t until very late that I made the connection to the word I’d learned by reading.
