That is fun.
Not sure if it's an American pronunciation thing, but I had to stare at that long and hard to see the problem and even after seeing it couldn't think of how you could possibly spell the correct word otherwise.

It's a bad American pronunciation thing like "Febuwary" and "nuculer".
If you pronounce the syllables correctly, "an-ec-dote", "Feb-ru-ar-y", "nu-cle-ar" the spellings follow.
English has it's fair share of spelling stupidities, but if people don't even pronounce the words correctly there is no hope.
