English itself began as a bastardised language and has been constantly evolving over many centuries. New words enter the language, words become unused, and acceptable spelling changes with each new edition of a major dictionary.

In brief, if you can understand what is being conveyed what does it matter whether the spelling is correct in this month's dictionary?
