That’s actually a fine line.  As I’ve been taught by the lovely YouTube channel “Across the Pond” American English is closer to how many words were used/pronounced before the 19th century. 

Oh wow, you still watch videos other than BL on YouTube?

Actually most of my BL watching is now done off of YouTube.  Really only new GMM series I watch on YouTube.  I watch Viki and actually subscribed to iQIYI for the time being.

Reading old books (Thank you archive.org) clearly shows that spelling was much more flexible in ye olde times. And the printed word also had weird things going on like f replacing s but only in the middle of a word. I think I like a more standardised approach

I don't know if you are right or wrong, what I do know is that I don't agree with colonisation by force.

I'm not aware of any colonial history that is bathed in glory… it's usually the history we don't talk about

I read somewhere that there was no standardized spelling for words until dictionaries started being produced.

Yep that's what I had heard too. 

Some of it reminds me of kids learning to spell - phonetically correct(ish) but wildly different
