ah, improvise is def one that is usually spelled that way, tho i think i'll be spelling it improvize from now on. i don't think that the rest of those are the same morpheme tho.

If Master & Commander has taught me anything it's that "surprize" is the older spelling anyway and "surprise" is the neologism

Last year I grew a variety of pumpkin that had been bred to have unshelled seeds! Before that I thought they took regular pumpkin seeds, shelled them and then sold them. it was very exciting

Well heck. I never knew this existed. I always assumed they were shelled in the process. I'll have to add one of these to my garden. Love some pepitas. We always brine and roast the regular ones, those are good too.

Back around the late 90s/early 00s there was one like this with the whitehouse website. Real website was (and still is) whitehouse.gov, but .com or .org or something like that was a porn site.

there was a story going around that the dude who had the porn site made bank selling the URL (and that the Bush administration may have been the ones to buy it because, you know, they really didn't want it floating out there)

Long time ago, I helped out in a community college level class for credit, it was a "Intro to the Internet" and was around..1999 I think. Class had a pretty huge age range, but mostly skewed older. Anyway, teacher was going over how important it was to doublecheck addresses, and how important it was to get .com/.net and such right.
He mentions whitehouse.com and immediately some older lady in there puts that in and learns and important lesson that day. The next class, she mentions in passing that she went back when she was home as the site was very patriotic, but mentioned on dialup it was too slow.

Wouldn't doubt it. Back in those days, I worked with a nice dude in his late 60's who became obsessed with eBay. Didn't know anything else about the internet, but loved to go window shopping on there.

One day he sits down at the pc, and next thing he's hollering "Hey! Hey! What are all these little windows? Help?!" I look over and he's got porn pop-ups coming faster than he can whack-a-mole them.

He'd typo-ed in ebnay.com, which led you to Fuckingham Palace. For the next 10 years I worked there, we teased him when he'd use the computer, "Going to visit the Palace, huh?" (He was a good sport and found the whole thing funny.)
