A little research never hurt.
Keep up that research yourself! That's just a good example of what's known as "assimilated spelling." Happens in American and British English all the time. Ueber becomes uber. Pharmacoepia becomes pharmacopia. Orthopaedic becomes orthopedic. There are many others. Modern English speakers/writers are fast-track shorteners of -ae, -oe, and -ue diphthong combinations, among others, so we quickly begin to spell the words like we say them. Simply indicates a trend toward modern, efficient usage rather than moronics.
