Chameleon is one of the few CH words where the CH is not sounded but Chef is sounded SH, Character is another, I'm sure there will be others.

I'll say Charisma Carpenter any way she wants me to.

Ditto, had never heard of her but there are some shows which don't even get my consideration, Buffy is pretty much on the top of that list.
As for Boy George, until he popped up here a couple of years ago I had no idea he was still around, his talent levels are still non existent and he has gone way past his use by date.

Couple of other words come to mind.

Litre-Liter, we only use the former
Metre-Meter, first is a measure second an instrument
Mitre, not sure if there is a Miter

Hey, Buffy was a cool show for the first season. Kind of campy and comedic in many ways. Think of The Archies meets Ghostbusters. Then it got .... not.

When I’m reading, I’ve gotten to the point where I can mentally substitute “you’re” for “your” as needed, almost unconsciously.

I still get thrown when “there” is used in place of “they’re”. I usually have to re-read the sentence to understand it.
Incorrect spelling/grammar drives me nuts because it seems lazy. That said, I am no literary genius, just trying to preserve what I was taught. I should probably be thankful my education maybe was better than afforded to many. I dunno know. :D

Bye George... a Buddhist now I believe.

Wears silly hats and a lot of make up, hats look like a standard Akubra/Stetson but ridiculously oversized and coloured.
Would I pay to see him, absolutely not unless he was in a pillory, talentless buffoon.
As for education, I was a victim of the British system just after WWII, my parents were told that I had learning difficulties, at the time a lot of teachers were recently demobbed military officers who had no idea about teaching.
After surviving school and getting a trade then moving on to get a Phd without help I concluded that the problem was not learning difficulties but teaching difficulties.
As for you not being a literary genius, you convey your message accurately and concisely, what more can we ask?
