Not a Misspelling

[edit]

This is a long establish'd variant spelling of surprise, see Merriam-Webster, surprize. --AnWulf ... Ferþu Hal! (talk) 18:23, 14 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Citation with misleading year

[edit]

The noun cite of "2011, William Francis Patrick Napier, quoting Charle Napier, 1813" stresses the 2011, when the text is from 1813. The template is so complex I can't see an easy way to improve it. Equinox 01:28, 12 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Smuconlaw Could you sort this out? DTLHS (talk) 01:46, 12 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
@DTLHS, Equinox, seems you guys have sorted it out yourselves. — SMUconlaw (talk) 08:12, 12 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

References

[edit]

The sole reference cited is Merriam-Webster. But, unlike Wiktionary, M-W doesn't claim that the spelling is non-standard. — This unsigned comment was added by 31.192.197.247 (talk) at 22:58, 14 August 2024 (UTC).Reply

I have added a reference to the OED. J3133 (talk) 00:04, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
