What are some words that aren't spelled the way they sound? Here are some examples.

Island
Wednesday
Colonel

Can anyone think of any more?

The only one I can think of is "eye," ... or maybe "Baruch" as well?

Des Moines...and no one from outside of there can pronounce it. Okay, so some IN Des Moines can't pronounce it either.
