Hypernym for “business”, “company”, “organization”, “institution” "Entrepreneur" always refers to a person; the question asks about a word which can be applied to companies and other types of organisation. |

“Normalise” or “normalize” (British English)? This answer appears to contradict the evidence provided in mplungjan's answer. Can you provide any sources? |

Someone who comes across as “airheaded” but is really quite the opposite Yes, if you described a person as being misleading, it could indeed include the behaviour described above -- but it could also apply to many other behaviours. It's a little vague; most of the other answers here are a lot more specific. |

Someone who comes across as “airheaded” but is really quite the opposite Hi EM-Creations, and welcome to English.SE. I'm afraid that I don't think any of those convey the meaning requested in the question. |

Is it “peek”, “peak” or “pique”? @JonHanna: true. However, my impression from the question is that most people are doing this because they're unaware of the correct spelling, rather than in order to make a pun. |

Is it “peek”, “peak” or “pique”? "peek my interest" is also not grammatically correct, as "to peek" must be followed by a preposition, e.g. "at" or "under". |

Is it “peek”, “peak” or “pique”? "peaked my interest", for general use, is not grammatically correct, as the verb "to peak" is intransitive. So my interest can peak (i.e. it can reach its maximum value), but it cannot be peaked. (Apparently there are transitive versions of "to peak"; one is a nautical term; the other I've never heard of.) |
