SKWIRL is my first choice. God how I hate its current spelling.
Skwirl, please!
Misled.
I don’t have any better suggestions, but I still read it as “myzuld” every single time. Maybe a hyphen would help?
Mis-led?
Wrong, but helpful.

Queue.
Too many ue’s in my opinion. Of course then it may be “Que??”, but still better than original.
Also, “Quay”. It’s pronounced “Kay” or sometimes “Key”. So wtf is with the “Qu”?
Don’t get me started on “colonel”.
I thought quay was pronounced kway.
Thoroughly is my vote for a word that needs simplification of spelling.
Funetik.
Nah, put it back to Woden’s Day.
Skool, injunear.
kerb, tyre (whoops the Aussies got it right)
Longeray.

Ow OW stop hitting me!
pwned!!!
All words starting in acq-- should be spelled instead as accq-- (accquire, accquit), because…uh…that’s how I always mis-spell them.
teeny, tiny hijack:
I was in a play a few years ago where I had the line, “He’s a colonial.” At the first few rehersals, I read the line as “He’s a colonel.” It took a few days before someone realized we’d all been reading the script wrong, and the character was saying “colonial.”
Since I’m one of the only people I know that pronounces February the way it’s supposed to be pronounced (i.e. Feb-ru-ary), maybe it needs to be changed to Febuary.
Not.
All words under that damned “i before e” bullshit.
