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.

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

Draught. Seems we've already respelt it as "draft".
