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 just wish we spelled things in a more German-'esk' fashion. They use K more appropriately. Examples such as "panik" and "akkordeon" for accordion. I find their spelling to be more straightforward and sensical.

Accessoires

That may actually be the Dutch or maybe Swedish spelling. They're all so close but slightly different that I hope auto-correct deals with it.

Etobicoke. Can that count?

Etobicoke

Upon googling it I found it's pronounced like this: Uh tow buh kow

So yes.

Not an English word so you need the ref. The place where alders grow.
