With the qualifier "always," the answer has to be "wrong."
If it was "almost always -- RIC content," one answer would be "burgundy" spelled as "burgandy."

+1.
I saw this thread earlier this morning, was puzzled, and came back just now and I got it. The word "wrong" is always spelled w-r-o-n-g.

I reckon the word 'spelled' is incorrect in the topic heading..... I think it should be 'spelt'.
Apart from that, 'BURGANDY!!'

Just because that's the right way to spell it, doesn't mean it's not spelled "wrong."

Great responses, everyone!
Of course, I was looking for "wrong" ... congrats to everyone who got that!
As some have indicated, there could be an 'Abbott and Costello' type dialogue associated with this.
Hey Abbott, could you check whether I spelled "wrong" right?
Yes, you spelled it "wrong".
I did? How do you spell it?
You spell it, "wrong".
But I thought I spelled it "wrong"!
You did!
Did what?
Spelled it "wrong"!

Well, thank you! Of course, it's only spelled "wrong" if you spell it in English...
