You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick?

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...
  
  Ah yes good old queweyouwe
  
  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.
  
  I like qway way.
  
  Cue-y-hue-y is what the current spelling suggests, tbh.
- Qway-Way
