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?

Whenever I say Sean Bean I pronounce “Sean” like you would pronounce “Bean” and “Bean” like “Sean”

So I call him Seen Bawn and it’s 100% grammatically correct

Sean is borrowed from Irish where that is the normal vowel pronunciation, if you correctly include the accent: Seán
