There is a usage which I really, really dislike. It's definition might not be in the dictionary yet but someone, somewhere will be using it:
Authorize (authorise) - meaning - to write (a book)
(not where it means official or approved)
You could have the sentence "I've just finished authorizing an authorized biography".
