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?

        By that logic Uranus would be called “George’s Star”. Then the English nationalists would would get uppity about its name.

        The discover generally has input, but when there’s a group of experts responsible for maintaining a list of names of things: they decide what’s right.

            Farnsworth: I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all…

            Fry: Oh. What’s it called now?

            Farnsworth: Urectum.
