The whole damn French language.
So
“I before E, except after C, when the sound is long E”
becomes
“I before E, except after C, when the sound is long E, is now written double-E”?
Wonderful improvement 
I prefer the spelling “tree rat”, myself.
How about “Pasgetti”?
Awkward.
Banana is a tough word. I never know when to stop.
I would like to change the spelling of “sub” to “bus”. Failing that, I would like to have a dollar for every time I type End Bus in a Visual Basic program.
niggardly
BAD WORD! GO TO YOUR ROOM!
I’ll leave now.
If you’re in in Torquay, England, it’s not.
It is if you’re in Torquay, Saskatchewan (pronounced Tor-kway). Of course, the town of Ceylon is pronounced CEE-lon here rather than Say-LON.
Listen
Whenever I spell it say “list-en” in my head. I’ve done this for as long as I can remember. Damnit, it would be “lisen.”
Lisen.
So much better.
Werd.

You aren’t helping. 
oh oh! I have a few. Names of towns/cities in Massachusetts -
Worcester. I can’t even think of a funetik way to spell is because the english language doesn’t have the O with the two dots over it. The closest I can come is ‘woster’ (just imagine the o having two dots over it, sounding kinda like a mix between a long and short ‘u’ sound).
It’s always funny to hear someone from out of state say ‘then we go to… warchester?’.
Leicester. Pronounced like ‘Lester’, not ‘lie-chester’.
Gloucester. Pronounced ‘glosster’ - but my dad still pronounces it ‘gl-owster’

You clearly haven’t been here long enough. True Bay Staters will use the Principle of the Disappearing final ‘R’" and pronounce these as “Woostah”, “Less-tah” and “Gloss-tah”*
And don’t forget “Pee’b-dee” for “Peabody”, “Chahlston” for “Charlestown” and “Meffah” for “Medford”.
A lot of states probably have these. New York has “Nun-Day” for “Nunda” and “Chy-Lie” for “Chili”. utah has “Spanish Fark” for “Spanish Fork”.
- The R’s thus saved are then applied to the ends of words deficient in R’s, like “Pizza” (“Pete-zer”) and “saw” (“Sawr”)

I’m a musician who’s obsessed with rhyhtihthym (sp?) and am given to writing long rants about how important it is to my kind of music and I always have to either look it up or get it wrong.
Why does a U have to follow the Q? Can’t the letter Q stand on its own? I don’t see anything wrong with writing words such as qick, qiet, qality, etc.
That was all explained in the Letter People stories. Miss U helps keep Mr Q from quivering, or something like that. Or maybe she causes it. I don’t remember too well. I do remember that he wasn’t the only consonant she was seeing.
I would like **Separate ** to be spelled Seperate as a verb, and Seprate as an adjective.
Tho, altho, and thru.
You can have nite, alright (why not alrite?), thoro, brot, etc.
Vacuum–make it vacum and be done.
Recommend–why two m’s? Same with accomodate–oh, wait a sec…
All that British nonsense–oesophagus, oedema–lose the o, folks! We did and look who’s the remaining super-power!
wrench-why not rench? lose that unspoken w.
refridgerator–lose the d.
