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?

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.

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