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?

“Arkansas” and “Kansas” are both from the Osage language, but the former passed through French on its way to English.

In this thread, a lot of folks who would use their one wish to make the language better.

But I would change “their” to be spelled “the’re” and pronounced “all’y’all’s”.

I hope I do grow up to be more like the rest of you, and make better choices, in the future.

Thou shalt spell the word “Pheonix” P-H-E-O-N-I-X, not P-H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you.

It’s actually pronounced “JIF”

It stands for the Jraphics Interchange Format
