People online tell me that language is fluid and spelling is interpretive. Just let your reviewers know that if they mark anything!

Language is fluid, but standardised spellings are helpful for clarity and ease of reading.

Anybody who's every read a document written prior to the eighteenth century will tell you that people had a pretty "interpretive" way of spelling back in the day lol.

The hallmark of a truly sophisticated language is the ability to express complex thoughts consistently and conscisely.

And without so many unnecessary U's.
