we took the spelling from one language and the pronunciation from another...classic English lmao. In Italian it was "colonnelo", then french made it "coronel" which is where the pronunciation came from. Eventually french changed back to "colonel", but both spellings and pronunciations were already in use in English. For whatever reason, people couldn't decide between them and went with the pronunciation from one and the spelling from the other 🤦

[@Mini-cu6mk]

The word ‘colonel’ originally comes from the Italian word ‘colonnello’. When the French adopted that word into their own language they changed it to ‘coronel’. Eventually the English adopted that word from the French. Over time the English spelling changed, but the pronunciation didn’t.

[@froeloe]
