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 change "I" to "pxmipexokal" just to screw over everyone's typing speed.

Seems like that absolute lot here are just American Vs British pronunciation, and for me, who learned the British version make 0 sense.

Wouldn't fuck with it. The road to hell is paved with good intentions

I feel like I would much prefer the ability to change the way a word is pronounced to match the way it is written.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Well which word would you pick for that?

First of all, you want to replace the way "coronel" is pronounced to match the spelling, not the other way around.

Second, I'd do "bass" and kill two birds right there and then.
