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?

Etobicoke. Can that count?

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

Etobicoke

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

So yes.

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.
