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

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