Interestingly, an area I found where the spelling of words can evolve extremely rapidly is geography.
I’m mapping on openstreetmap and finding the right spelling for small dwellings and locations can be an impossible task.
Unless there is a clear physical signage for it somewhere the name of a single place can change drastically in a few decades. From one generation to another the name changes and finding “the right” spelling is sometimes an impossible task.
I have a lot of cases where the cadastral map, the postal database and the mapping institute each have a different spelling/name for the same location.
