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?

It only gets spelled correctly when it's a pseudo queue (>!sudoku!<).

But that's already pronounced how it's spelled...

Okay, I'll grant you, the second ue could've been trimmed in editing. I always viewed it like the ue in monologue but it's clearly of a different sort.

I'll go downvote myself now.

No, it would just be 'q'. Right now, I would pronounce it kay-way maybe.

Cue-y-hue-y is what the current spelling suggests, tbh.
