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?

We’d just abbreviate it like pxmilexokal

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